Samsung DDR5 remains a strong option compared to DDR4, but Hynix offers competitive performance. Yes, Samsung can achieve high command rates similar to Hynix.
Before offering an opinion, it's important to understand the distinctions between 1T, 1N, and N=1. Most readers will be unfamiliar with these terms, so clarification is necessary. Yes, there is a 1T model on Alder Lake. AIDA64 benchmarking won't detect it as effectively compared to DDR4 systems. Performance gains will become noticeable especially at low clock speeds. I’m not familiar with DDR4, and there isn’t a "Gear 1" version for DDR5 since some cycles run in a single pass—unlike the Gear 2 design for DDR4. Please refrain from asking for further details as I don’t have that knowledge and prefer not to engage. A detailed explanation is available around the 46-minute mark by Skatterbencher.
