Key differences
The 10AX090 has about 17% more logic capacity (679K vs 580K LUT4 equivalents).
They use different logic architectures: the 10AX090 is built from ALMs and the XC7VH580T from LUT6, so the raw LUT counts (340K vs 363K) are not directly comparable.
For arithmetic, the XC7VH580T has 1,680 DSP slices against 1,518 variable-precision DSP blocks on the 10AX090.
The 10AX090 has more on-chip memory (47.3 Mb vs 33 Mb).
Both have transceivers: 96 at up to 17.4 Gb/s on the 10AX090 and 56 at up to 28.05 Gb/s on the XC7VH580T.
The 10AX090 is designed with Altera Quartus Prime and the XC7VH580T with AMD Vivado.
