It's slightly obscure, but I think the BBC concluded that AV1 was better than x265.
They ran a similar comparison before and published more details. In that one, AV1 lost a little bit to x265 on objective PSNR but beat it on subjective evaluation.
In this latest result, they don't give as much info, but AV1 is closer in PSNR (ahead for 4k) while also being 25x faster than it was the last time, so presumably it would still win on subjective quality.
