Dreamcast games looked better than early PS2 games. Dreamcast had double
the VRAM so it didn't have use <640x480 and could do AA so it didn't have
nasty jaggies.

With IBM out x86+Larrabee looks more likely than PoweVR. Intel can make an
offer Sony can't refuse.

Except that Larrabee isn't proven yet. PS4 can still go to a more
traditional regular PowerPC processor along with a traditional GPU,
making it more like the Xbox360.

The same could have been said of Cell. Without crazy Ken shooting for the
moon we can expect a "cheap" PS4. I'm not expecting much from Larrabee (its
just a supercharged PentiumMMX afterall) but with Intel's fab capacity it
should be cheap.
IBM is still on board the Cell train afterall so we can expect Cell to stay.

Nope, it isn't. IBM discontinues all Cell development. Cell is dead.
