2 x ( 4 x 10Gig)  linecards is really as fast as it goes no over-subscribed.

It's been rather a long time or possibly never since that platform was
cutting edge on a PPS/Watt basis.

Today at roughly double the power consumpution per slot you can have
between 16 and 36 hundred gig ports or 48 x 10gig at half the power
consumption.
