They look at RAW files and measure noise from that RAW file, amongst others. Any camera that does more noise suppression in RAW will get a better score. All cameras do to some degree, but some do this more than others. Whehther that is something one would want in a RAW file, is debatable. However, lower noise in RAW means better scores....
Of course, sensors do improve with each new generation (even if they seem to stay the same <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='

Kind regards, Wim
