Beamr 5 would be one. [1] But my x265 experience is with pre 2.8. Not sure how much improvement there is in 3.0 and 3.1.

My point is not that x265 isn't "good" in absolute terms, it just isn't x264 level insanely good. In AVC era, x264 was absolutely amazing in the details. And just to point out, comparing encoder is hard and depends a lot on materials and target bitrate.

Yeah, that’s actually the one I was referring to. The rebuttal to it left me unsure: http://x265.org/beamr-hevc-encoder-comparison/ (it is also from a while ago, before 3.x I believe)
