It means that AV1 generates more high-quality videos than HEVC (H.265) in low piece rate situations, which is exceptionally engaging in the video coding field.

However, if we make a comparison, AV1 generates better video at lower bit rates yet it is passed at higher piece rates.

The newer HEVC or H.265 encoder can compress the video raw sequence with more efficiency about 30-40% less bitstream size while still can maintain the same picture quality when compared to H.264. H.264 is also the most commonly used encoder in the market now while some software companies also started to use the HEVC or H.265 encoder. The image quality it produces is highly commendable. If we talk about H.264, it generates a high-quality encoding video at the same compressed and lower rates. These are the latest technology that is currently used by video professionals or software developers to compress video files with near-to-lossless quality. The 4 major types of video encoders include AV1, VP9, HEVC, and H.264.
