Today's motherboards may support multiple fans, and may have several thermal zones and monitors. The CPU fan speed would be the rpm's of the fan attached to the heat-sink of the CPU chip. The system fan is likely an exhause fan at the rear of the cabinet.

The CPU fan actually sits on the CPU chip to cool it off. It is mounted on the CPU board (motherboard).
The system fan just moves air through the computer box,
and is mounted on the inside of the box itself.

the CPU fan is the one that sits directly on the CPU. the system fan can be everywhere in the case. for example my system fan is the one for air intake in the case at the front, cooling the hard disks. it could also be the exhaust fan at the rear of the case.
