AM3894 longevity vs clock speed

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: OMAP3530, AM3894

I have learned from the OMAP35x Beagle board project that you need to select clock speed to balance performance and longevity.
The following text was found at http://elinux.org/BeagleBoard

  • ARM Cortex-A8 processor is currently clocked at 500MHz
  • 500MHz is the default used because it is a balance of performance and longevity
  • For OMAP35x 600MHz is max recommended
  • An additional 720MHz overdrive is supported only on high-speed grade OMAP3530/25 devices as fitted to the Beagleboard C4
  • At 600MHz or higher OMAP35x is considered to be 'overdrive' and it does not have the same life expectancy
  • Higher than 600/720MHz is out of spec and no guarantee it will work at all (or not damage itself)

My question is: Do the same considerations apply to  AM3894?
What clock speed shall I select if I need a longevity of i.e. 10 years (24 hours a day) ?
