Highlighted values are higher. LUT counts are shown as published; the LUT4 equivalent is an approximation to compare different LUT types, see how FPGA vendors count logic. Add up to two more devices to this comparison.
Key differences
Both devices offer similar logic capacity: 237K and 233K LUT4 equivalents.
They use different logic architectures: the 10AX032 is built from ALMs and the XCKU025 from LUT6, so the raw LUT counts (119K vs 145K) are not directly comparable.
For arithmetic, the XCKU025 has 1,152 DSP slices against 985 variable-precision DSP blocks on the 10AX032.
The 10AX032 has more on-chip memory (17.4 Mb vs 12.7 Mb).
Both have transceivers: 24 at up to 17.4 Gb/s on the 10AX032 and 12 at up to 16.3 Gb/s on the XCKU025.
The 10AX032 is designed with Altera Quartus Prime and the XCKU025 with AMD Vivado.
