Posting test results like that before product is released WILL result in wb tests that show it as a top performer. Not necessarily because reviewers are lazy and dishonest (though some are) but because reviewers like to be able to feel like they are in line with other tests.

So if you mount the block that's supposed to be a badass and it performs poorly you'd mount it again. Maybe adjust thermal paste application a little. Maybe increase pressure on springs a bit. Etc etc. Sooner or later you'll get that "perfect mount" and the block will perform as shown there vs. average mounts on other blocks.

I also wonder if we're seeing a new Swiftech tester's first results graphed on top of the older results. I could be wrong and BillA did this testing too though and the Apogee is simply a beast.
