Key differences
The 10CX085 has about 43% more logic capacity (62K vs 43.3K LUT4 equivalents).
They use different logic architectures: the 10CX085 is built from ALMs and the LFCPNX-50 from LUT4, so the raw LUT counts (31K vs 43.3K) are not directly comparable.
For arithmetic, the LFCPNX-50 has 96 18×18 multipliers against 84 variable-precision DSP blocks on the 10CX085.
The 10CX085 has more on-chip memory (5.7 Mb vs 3.7 Mb).
Both have transceivers: 6 at up to 12.5 Gb/s on the 10CX085 and 4 at up to 10.3125 Gb/s on the LFCPNX-50.
The 10CX085 is designed with Altera Quartus Prime and the LFCPNX-50 with Lattice Radiant.
