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: 380K and 382K LUT4 equivalents.
They use different logic architectures: the 5AGXB7 is built from ALMs and the XC6VHX380T from LUT6, so the raw LUT counts (190K vs 239K) are not directly comparable.
For arithmetic, the 5AGXB7 has 1,156 variable-precision DSP blocks against 864 DSP48E1 slices on the XC6VHX380T.
The XC6VHX380T has more on-chip memory (27 Mb vs 23.6 Mb).
Both have transceivers: 36 at up to 6.5536 Gb/s on the 5AGXB7 and 72 at up to 11.18 Gb/s on the XC6VHX380T.
The 5AGXB7 is designed with Altera Quartus Prime and the XC6VHX380T with AMD ISE Design Suite.
