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 5AGXB7 has about 17% more logic capacity (380K vs 326K LUT4 equivalents).
They use different logic architectures: the 5AGXB7 is built from ALMs and the XC7VX330T from LUT6, so the raw LUT counts (190K vs 204K) are not directly comparable.
For arithmetic, the 5AGXB7 has 1,156 variable-precision DSP blocks against 1,120 DSP slices on the XC7VX330T.
The XC7VX330T has more on-chip memory (26.4 Mb vs 23.6 Mb).
Both have transceivers: 36 at up to 6.5536 Gb/s on the 5AGXB7 and 28 at up to 13.1 Gb/s on the XC7VX330T.
The 5AGXB7 is designed with Altera Quartus Prime and the XC7VX330T with AMD Vivado.
