It's 5 years only, when the cpu runs at 600Mhz (or 720) _all the time_ when it's running. But as the n900 switches clock - the math to calculate the lifespan goes far beyond basics.

Simple as that: we cannot say for sure how many days/months/years the lifespan will degrade. Absolutely sure seems to be, that there is _some_ sort of degradation *sing* - but I guess no one of us (hardcore-gamers excepted - they should've bought a psp in the first place *g*) will see a dying cpu the next few years.
