To be technical: All USB 3.0 ports are USB 3.1 ports. They rebranded them to USB 3.1gen1 (or just USB 3.1).
The newer USB 3.1 ports (10Gbps) are USB 3.1gen2.
The USB trade group is a tricky one.

And the new Mac Pro (coming soon!) has USB 3.1gen2. If you look at everymac it or click on the USB line, it says

USB Ports: 2 (3.0), 4 (C)*
That "4 (C)" is 4 type C ports and all type C ports are 3.1gen2 (in this case dual use Thunderbolt3 and USB 3.1gen2.) That is explained when clicked.
