Well, they could still substitute the PowerPC 750 derived Espresso chip for a cut down version of a PowerPC e6500 chipset in order to jump to 28nm (from 45). But that might cost quite a bit to develop at this stage.

Yeah the PowerPC 750 is likely a royal pain in their ass right now. They can't go to 28nm largely likely because of that, though they may have made some weird/stupid decisions on the GPU that prevent it too. 

Well, it's extremely derived from the Gecko, which had some major advantages in aiding the CPU for graphics calculations, so you would need to make some major changes to a new PowerPC chip.
