Press about the new Voltaire 6048 48p 10g switch indicates that it's a single switch chip:
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2010/08/30/voltaire_vantage_6048/ Arista seems to have a similar product at a similarish list price, and that list price is a lot less than chassis switches using 24p silicon. Fujitsu isn't selling a 48p switch, and I'm not up enough on silicon vendors to tell you if Fulcrum is still the only other vendor.
