Realtemp and Coretemp read the same if you adjust them to display the same tjmax. Both programs allow this so use which every you like better. Example, my x3360 running the x264 benchmark hd during the end of one of the 2nd pass runs. ALL THE SCREENSHOTS BELOW WERE TAKEN LIKE THIS (yes, my X3360 runs cool):



Now, if I use the same two apps without modifying the coretemp.ini file to drop the tjmax from 105 to 95, coretemp is 10 °C hotter as you can see:



Finally, here are all four apps (everest, hwmonitor, realtemp, and coretemp). Note that I did NOT adjust the tjmax in coretemp back to 95, also, the 1 °C discrepancies you see are a function of polling time, in other words, all the apps aren't polling the DTS in the core at the same time:
