Speedfan gives me 2 CPU temps?

They are not the same, I only have 1 CPU, it is 2 cores. So how can each core have a certain temp.?

Because each core is doing its own thing? They should only be 3 Degrees or less in it.

If there is a massive variation then your thermal paste application and/or heat sink might be at fault. I wouldn't worry about a couple of degrees though.

Ok, I just thought it was odd 2 temps. for 1 cpu.

Well, it's two processors on one die, and they can each report their own temperature. On a quad you'll see four. Not sure how many it will scale up to though, as I doubt it would make sense to have 16, 32, 64 temperature readings for such a small space as core counts climb in the future.
