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

The 10AX048 has about 20% more logic capacity (364K vs 302K LUT4 equivalents).

For arithmetic, the 10AX048 has 1,368 variable-precision DSP blocks against 1,092 variable-precision DSP blocks on the 5AGZE5.

Both have transceivers: 36 at up to 17.4 Gb/s on the 10AX048 and 36 at up to 12.5 Gb/s on the 5AGZE5.

The 10AX048 is designed with Altera Quartus Prime and the 5AGZE5 with Altera Quartus Prime.
