Both use completely separate sensors.
The engine RPM gauge uses the engine speed sensor (or crank position sensor) circled in RED.

The speedometer uses the road speed sensor in the diff housing on the back of the gearbox circled in GREEN.
note some models fitted with ABS may not have a road speed sensor & use the ABS system to detect road speed.
