It was mentioned that Att is already testing this with a 100gbps fiber run.
Maybe Peter Lothberg is testing one in his basement?

Yes, it says that right in the press release.

Is that about 11 giggitybits per second?

MPAA are preparing their lawsuits now.
Indeed Cisco marketing machine.
Nothing new to CRS-1, just new linecards and route-processor.
It would be like giving the CAT6500 a new name back when the
SUP720/DCEF cards came out.
Renaming the 6500? Nice one, let's call it 7600 then

"This intelligence also includes carrier-grade IPv6 (CGv6)"
Can't wait to find out what this is.
First google link for CGv6. Skimmed it any saw something called 'Double
NAT 444'.
It's teh future of the tubes! Didn't you get the memo?
Nah, actually it is just hardware assisted SP-wide NAT... See:

Cisco believes that this is the (intermediate-)solution to the IPv4 address depletion...

"accelerating the delivery of compelling new experiences"
Sounds like someone created a new "web economy bullshit generator". And
just how will I know when I have been delivered a compelling new
experience? I was at least expecting something like "envisioneer
out-of-the-box communities" or maybe "recontextualize customized
experiences" or something.
"Spend the GDP of a small nation on a single box!"
And the amazing thing is that the target audience of the campaign has
nothing to do with the product. The very few carriers that can buy
CRS-x already knew about the product and preliminar specs; the real
message is to the consumer markets: there is more bandwidth out there.
Don't be cheap: use, prefer and create applications requiring more
bandwidth. If the market grows, Cisco grows with it, selling products
across the board (newer Linksys APs, newer CPEs, newer PEs, newer core
routers).
The real enemy here for Cisco is not vendor-J,vendor-AL or vendor-H;
it's a growing culture that speaks txtspk instead of plain language
and would be happy with Telex bandwidths. That hurts business; HD
video and HQ audio sell a lot of stuff, and that's the culture Cisco
hopes will prevail.

I fail to see how using linksys's range of products is going to be comparable to enterprise grade cisco gear. Well, your average consumer wouldn't be involved with a CRS or for that matter, anything that remotely resembles a CRS. Not sure why you'd pull the consumer market into this marketing hype that cisco is going on about.
Let's hope for deep-color progressive, DCI/Cinema4k, or better yet Super Hi-Vision. We might as well enjoy good video quality.
I'll admit to being too lazy to dig through and/or translate the marketspeak.
Anyone have any idea how much a fully configured CRS-3 would cost? Or how much power it would consume? Or how much heat it would generate?
Or perhaps more interestingly, given the way things seem to be going, how many (tens of?) millions of RIB entries it'll allow?
Just curious...
Thanks,

Admittedly, my information on these topics comes from NPR these days.
They said it costs ~US$90k, and that AT&T was in trails.

Somehow, I'm skeptical (not of the trials, but $90k for a fully configured CRS-3), but if it was on NPR it must be true...

Anyone have any idea how much a fully configured CRS-3 would cost? Or how much power it would consume? Or how much heat it would generate?
Power is fairly easy, you need somewhere in the order of 14kW per rack (at least you need to provision that much), and at 72 racks that's ~1 MW.
I'd imagine it'd be hard to get below an average cost of 50kUSD per slot for MSC and PLIM and optics, so at 64*16 slots that's at least ~50 milllion USD.
Or perhaps more interestingly, given the way things seem to be going, how many (tens of?) millions of RIB entries it'll allow?
Probably around there, yes, 10M RIB, 2-3M FIB.
