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 EP2AGZ225 has about 8% more logic capacity (179K vs 166K LUT4 equivalents).

Both have transceivers: 24 at up to 12.5 Gb/s on the 5AGZE1 and 24 at up to 6.375 Gb/s on the EP2AGZ225.

The 5AGZE1 is designed with Altera Quartus Prime and the EP2AGZ225 with Altera Quartus Prime.
