Key differences
The XCAU25P has about 11% more logic capacity (226K vs 203K LUT4 equivalents).
They use different logic architectures: the 10AX027 is built from ALMs and the XCAU25P from LUT6, so the raw LUT counts (102K vs 141K) are not directly comparable.
For arithmetic, the XCAU25P has 1,200 DSP slices against 830 variable-precision DSP blocks on the 10AX027.
The 10AX027 has more on-chip memory (14.7 Mb vs 10.5 Mb).
Both have transceivers: 24 at up to 17.4 Gb/s on the 10AX027 and 12 at up to 32.75 Gb/s on the XCAU25P.
The 10AX027 is designed with Altera Quartus Prime and the XCAU25P with AMD Vivado.
