Highlighted values are higher. LUT counts are shown as published; the LUT4 equivalent is an approximation to compare different LUT types, see how FPGA vendors count logic. Add up to two more devices to this comparison.
Key differences
The 5AGTD7 has about 21% more logic capacity (380K vs 315K LUT4 equivalents).
They use different logic architectures: the 5AGTD7 is built from ALMs and the XC6VSX315T from LUT6, so the raw LUT counts (190K vs 197K) are not directly comparable.
For arithmetic, the XC6VSX315T has 1,344 DSP48E1 slices against 1,156 variable-precision DSP blocks on the 5AGTD7.
Both have transceivers: 26 at up to 10.3125 Gb/s on the 5AGTD7 and 24 at up to 6.6 Gb/s on the XC6VSX315T.
The 5AGTD7 is designed with Altera Quartus Prime and the XC6VSX315T with AMD ISE Design Suite.
