Sup2T is targeted currently for 6500. It will run IOS XE.

No. All -E (6500) and -S (7600) chassis are capable of 80Gbit/s per
slot. It's just a matter of switch fabric to use that capability.
The current Sups for 6500 and current RSPs for 7600 max out at
2x20Gbit/s per LC, the Sup2T will have 2x40Gbit/s per LC.
