While it certainly looks confusing, the related man pages document this information.

Multiprocessor systems would have one instance of kate per each chip. In each instance, temp0 and temp1 sensors correspond to the temperature sensors on the first core, whereas temp2 and temp3 correspond to the temperature sensors on the second core. As such, single core chips may have two sensors, and dual-core dual-processor systems may have as many as 8 temperature sensors in total.
As for acpitz{0,1}, that's a little trickier.. they are extracted from ACPI tables, what they represent is a bit unclear; but I presume it's simply acpitz0==cpu0 and acpitz1==cpu1.

Please post a dmesg in [code][/code] blocks, not for any specific reason.. just for my benefit. (I like dmesg's..)

Hope that helps..
