Which is better, USB C or Thunderbolt3?

 While USB-C and TB3 offer similar general functionality, there are noticeable differences between the two standards. The key differences between USB-C and TB3 can be boiled down to three main points: data transfer rates, display connections, and connecting external devices.

Data transfer: Thunderbolt 3 is significantly faster than USB-C. USB-C supports transfer speeds ranging from 480 Mbps (USB 2.0) to 20 Gbps (USB 3.2 Gen 2x2); 10 Gbps is the most common speed. Thunderbolt 3 supports transfer rates up to 40 Gbps. In general, a laptop with Thunderbolt 3 can transfer data over that port to another device 2-4 times faster than a laptop with USB-C.
Display connections: One of the big draws of Thunderbolt 3 is its versatility. In addition to offering blazingly fast transfer speeds, Thunderbolt 3 has the bandwidth to drive up to two 4K monitors at 60 Hz. USB-C can also support external displays with the optional “DisplayPort Alternate Mode” feature. Without this feature, displays will not work when connected via USB-C.
Device support: USB-C and TB3 can both be used to connect a variety of peripherals such as printers and hard drives. TB3, however, supports PCIe devices like external GPUs and fast external hard drives. USB-C simply cannot connect to these kinds of devices.
