I decided to look it up. From the Siemens press release page:

"To really make the most of its strengths Fritz needs a powerful computer:
processor performance, RAM, high-speed hard disks – that's what matters. And
that's precisely where the most powerful NT Server from Siemens has a lot to
offer. The Primergy 870 that will take on Anand will incorporate four of the
fastest Pentium III-Xeon processors available then. Distributing the arithmetic
functions amongst a number of processors makes Fritz much, much faster."

So, it looks like it is using 4 processors.
