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

Both devices offer similar logic capacity: 226K and 238K LUT4 equivalents.

Both have transceivers: 24 at up to 6.5536 Gb/s on the 5AGXB1 and 24 at up to 6.375 Gb/s on the EP2AGZ300.

The 5AGXB1 is designed with Altera Quartus Prime and the EP2AGZ300 with Altera Quartus Prime.
