In the file liesmich.txt (readme.txt) of the Fritz 7 CD is the explanation:

(German)
...
4. Alte Prozessoren ohne MMX

Die Fritz7-Schachengine läuft nur auf MMX-fähigen Prozessoren. Auf älteren
Computern wird automatisch die etwas schwächere Engine Fritz7 NoMMX geladen.

(english transaltion)
4. Olders processors without MMX
The Fritz 7 engine runs only on MMX compatible CPUs. On older computer
the little bit weaker Fritz 7 NoMMX engine is automatically used.

-----

In my test games on an Athlon XP 1700+ (512 MB DDRRAM) system running Windows XP
Fritz 7 (MMX version) is now leading 13.5 : 3:5 against Junior 7 !!! (hard to
believe)

Each engine had 144MB hash (games in 15min + 10s).
