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 10AX090 has about 29% more logic capacity (679K vs 525K LUT4 equivalents).

For arithmetic, the 5SGSD8 has 1,963 variable-precision DSP blocks against 1,518 variable-precision DSP blocks on the 10AX090.

Both have transceivers: 96 at up to 17.4 Gb/s on the 10AX090 and 48 at up to 14.1 Gb/s on the 5SGSD8.

The 10AX090 is designed with Altera Quartus Prime and the 5SGSD8 with Altera Quartus Prime.
