Number of chokes gives you an idea of all "theoretical" phases. Gigabyte uses a simulated 12, 6 actual phase controller. Each phase of it's controller is doubled up to give you a simulated 12 phases and increased current handling capacity. You can get into the nitty gritty by figuring out what current balancing controller the board uses, most are either 4 or 8 phase.
