Key differences
Both devices offer similar logic capacity: 6K and 6K LUT4 equivalents.
They use different logic architectures: the 10CL006 is built from LUT4 and the XC7S6 from LUT6, so the raw LUT counts (6K vs 3.8K) are not directly comparable.
For arithmetic, the 10CL006 has 15 18×18 multipliers against 10 DSP slices on the XC7S6.
The 10CL006 has more on-chip memory (0.3 Mb vs 0.2 Mb).
The 10CL006 is designed with Altera Quartus Prime and the XC7S6 with AMD Vivado.
