Te 512k limit refers to FIB in the B/C (base) versions of 6500/7600
Supervisors and DFCs (for line cards). BXL/CXL versions have FIB for
1M IPv4 prefixes.
You can find more information here:

And yes, you’re right - no matter how many neighbors you have, the FIB
will only contain best paths, so it will be closer to 500k entries in
total rather than N times number of neighbours.
