You are very wrong when you say that assembly code is always faster than C code.
The C compilers of today can optimize things that humans cannot even imagine. Assembly can be good to use in small places, such as atomic compare-and-store operations used for synchronizations and such.
A large binary written in assembly is probably in total chaos and definitely slower than a C binary.
