there's this little bit of data:
USB-C, USB 3.1, and Transfer Rates

USB 3.1 is a new USB standard. USB 3‘s theoretical bandwidth is 5 Gbps, while USB 3.1’s is 10 Gbps. That’s double the bandwidth—as fast as a first-generation Thunderbolt connector.

They are. The USB Promoter Group rebranded as I stated before. All USB3.0 are USB3.1 gen1 now. It happened in 2013. And, yes, USB3.1 gen 1 is 5Gbps. And USB3.1 gen 2 is 10Gbps.

USB Type-C isn’t the same thing as USB 3.1, though. USB Type-C is just a connector shape, and the underlying technology could just be USB 2 or USB 3.0. In fact, Nokia’s N1 Android tablet uses a USB Type-C connector, but underneath it’s all USB 2.0—not even USB 3.0.

That is not what I said. I said on the new Mac Pro it is. As is explained on everymac. The Thunderbolt3 ports are dual use to USB3.1gen2.

From everymac under details:

*By default, this Mac Pro has two USB 3 ports (USB-A up to 5 Gb/s) and four Thunderbolt 3 ports (support for Thunderbolt 3 up to 40 Gb/s and USB-C up to 10 Gb/s as well as DisplayPort). Two of the Thunderbolt 3 ports are provided by a pre-installed Apple I/O card and two are on the top of the tower case. Other connectivity can be added via PCIe cards.
