They have two thousand servers total; that includes database servers, memcached servers, regular backends, and load balancers.

Peter Westwood gave a talk on WP.com's infrastructure in London in January; I've tried to find slides online but I can't, which is a shame because he went into quite a bit of detail about their nginx/HyperDB/memcached/mogileFS setup.
