But i'm ok to say that at this moment x265 is really really good if you take the speed/quality ratio.
In this study HEVC codecs do well compared with AV1. But among HEVC codecs, the HHI solution is way ahead: "HHI HEVC encoder provides coding gain of 12.7%, while the encoding is more than 10 times faster compared to x265". Another study included the Intel Media SDK and that was way ahead.

Overall HEVC does well against other formats for free use (e.g. with the x265 codec), but blows everything away for commercial use (with HHI or Intel Media SDK).

Of course it will be great if x265 can significantly narrow the gap with the commercial encoders, or alternatively if the commercial encoders release free versions for non-commercial use.
