I’ve always known that AV1 and Opus are more efficient than HEVC/VP9 and MP3/Vorbis, but exactly how is this achieved? Is it just a matter of more efficient compression?

Processing power in general has improved, but there’s also specific sections of the cpu/gpu built dedicated to en/de-coding in those codecs. (in newer hardware).
Less reliance on software figuring out which stream of commands to send the cpu/gpu to get the desired results, and more just handing the cpu/gpu some file data then receiving the output.
