Key differences
The XC7V2000T has about 129% more logic capacity (1955K vs 854K LUT4 equivalents).
They use different logic architectures: the 10AX115 is built from ALMs and the XC7V2000T from LUT6, so the raw LUT counts (427K vs 1222K) are not directly comparable.
For arithmetic, the XC7V2000T has 2,160 DSP slices against 1,518 variable-precision DSP blocks on the 10AX115.
The 10AX115 has more on-chip memory (53 Mb vs 45.4 Mb).
Both have transceivers: 96 at up to 17.4 Gb/s on the 10AX115 and 36 at up to 12.5 Gb/s on the XC7V2000T.
The 10AX115 is designed with Altera Quartus Prime and the XC7V2000T with AMD Vivado.
