Highlighted values are higher. Logic is compared in LUT4 equivalents; see how FPGA vendors count logic.

Key differences

Both devices offer similar logic capacity: 25K and 23.4K LUT4 equivalents.

They use different logic architectures: the 10CL025 is built from LUT4 and the XC7S25 from LUT6, so the raw LUT counts (25K vs 14.6K) are not directly comparable.

For arithmetic, the XC7S25 has 80 DSP slices against 66 18×18 multipliers on the 10CL025.

The XC7S25 has more on-chip memory (1.6 Mb vs 0.6 Mb).

The 10CL025 is designed with Altera Quartus Prime and the XC7S25 with AMD Vivado.
