No, it doesn't. Though that may have been the goal, HEVC has only thus far achieved an improvement of around 25%, not 50%.

In my anecdotal experience, h265 gets me 50-60% improvements in file sizes at the same quality for fairly low quality targets and the gains drop off rather quickly as you increase the quality. For videos where you don't care about the quality all that much, it's superb.
