Now usb3.1 and type-C have become the main interfaces between motherboard and mobile devices, and some related wires and peripheral accessories have been derived. In the market boom, we should be clear about the difference between the two.
USB 3.1 is the latest USB specification, which was initiated by Intel and other companies. The data transmission speed can be increased to 10Gbps. Compared with USB 3.0 technology, the new USB technology uses a more efficient data coding system and provides more than twice the effective data throughput. It is fully downward compatible with existing USB connectors and cables. Usb3.1 is compatible with existing USB 3.0 software stack and device protocol, 5Gbps hub and device, and USB 2.0 products.
It seems that USB 3.1 has many advantages, but we must note that USB 3.1 and USB type-C are different things. Strictly speaking, USB 3.1 is a transmission standard, while USB type-C is exactly an interface standard. There are three interface standards for USB 3.1, namely USB type A, USB type B (micro USB) and the latest USB type-c.
There is no absolute correlation between USB 3.1 and USB type-c. You should know that having a USB type-C interface does not necessarily mean that it supports the USB 3.1 standard. The USB 3.1 standard is not necessarily a USB type-C interface.
