I do a project with the newer STM32 G , C series and i am curious what are the benefits of external clock vs using the internal clock, because it will save cost and layout space ?

Internal RC clocks typically don't have the accuracy & stability of an external crystal or other clock source.
So check the datasheet carefully; if the specs meet your requirements, then the internal oscillators will be fine - if they don't, you'll need something else.
This is particularly important for things like UART - especially at higher baud rates.
