One core higher the others normal?

I have a i7 5960x which is a 8 core cpu but noticed while there is like 10% to 20% load 1 core temp will be higher then the rest of the 7 cores?  However I would like to point out it's not the same core that has a higher temp all the time sometimes it's core 6,4,7...etc but it's always a single core.

Generally thats the core that has speed step in use.

 

(I cant remember if Intel CPUs still use Speed Step, but I think they do)
