I agree that it degrades overclocked or non-overclocked but the pace at which it degrades should not be the same. Agree?
Agreed, in a way.
Overclocked processors usually degrade faster because it requires higher voltages (not the input voltage to PSU, do your research) to be stable and it will surely generate more heat than a stock procie.
But a stock processor can degrade much faster if the cooling system isn't working as it should be or the room temperature is too hot; it's the timeframe when there's "too much heat" that is directly causing to the degradation.

In the end, it depends to the OC setting, cooling, maintenance, PSU quality and the parts of the ASIC/GPU (GPUs have a central processor too).
