This is a spec given on many previous graphics cards, like 6800GT has 16, 7950GT has 24, and so on. What does this mean? How come they don't list it for the 8800's?
A pixel pipeline in pre-DX10 chips is where pixels are processed. Generally the more the better, but it also depends on the type of load (shader heavy and how many ALUs each pipeline has) and how fast it runs.
See the [H] G80 article. The unified architecture uses arrays of streaming processors.
