No, it's not; USB 3.1 adds the new SuperSpeed+ mode over all supported connector types (and USB 3.2 adds two additional SuperSpeed+ modes for Type-C connectors.)

USB Type-C connector spec is a separate spec issued after USB 3.1, USB 3.1 isn't USB 3.0 over Type-C connectors.

Note that there is USB 3.1 Gen1 (limited to 5Gbps) and USB 3.1 Gen2 (limited to 10Gbps).

Overall, I think a quick glance at the whole discussion under my comment proves my point quite well.

I meant 3.1 Gen1 & Gen2, sorry, as mentioned by jwr.
