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 5AGXA3 has about 17% more logic capacity (118K vs 101K LUT4 equivalents).
They use different logic architectures: the 5AGXA3 is built from ALMs and the XCSU150P from LUT6, so the raw LUT counts (58.9K vs 63K) are not directly comparable.
For arithmetic, the 5AGXA3 has 396 variable-precision DSP blocks against 384 DSP slices on the XCSU150P.
Both have transceivers: 9 at up to 6.5536 Gb/s on the 5AGXA3 and 8 at up to 16.3 Gb/s on the XCSU150P.
The 5AGXA3 is designed with Altera Quartus Prime and the XCSU150P with AMD Vivado.
