There is no such thing as "unlimited" heat conduction. Every material actually has unlimited heat conduction. Heat conduction depends on surface area, wall thickness and flow rate. If you were to make the surface area infinitely big you would have an unlimited heat conduction with every material. What most likely is the case is that with graphene the heat conduction gets a lot bigger when increasing the surface area when compared to other materials.

You could also say that it conducts heat really really well.
