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: 272K and 255K LUT4 equivalents.
They use different logic architectures: the 5AGZE3 is built from ALMs and the LAV-AT-G50 from LUT4, so the raw LUT counts (136K vs 255K) are not directly comparable.
For arithmetic, the LAV-AT-G50 has 1,120 18×18 multipliers against 1,044 variable-precision DSP blocks on the 5AGZE3.
The LAV-AT-G50 has more on-chip memory (22.7 Mb vs 18.7 Mb).
The 5AGZE3 is designed with Altera Quartus Prime and the LAV-AT-G50 with Lattice Radiant.
