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 XC7K325T has about 20% more logic capacity (326K vs 272K LUT4 equivalents).
They use different logic architectures: the 5AGZE3 is built from ALMs and the XC7K325T from LUT6, so the raw LUT counts (136K vs 204K) are not directly comparable.
For arithmetic, the 5AGZE3 has 1,044 variable-precision DSP blocks against 840 DSP slices on the XC7K325T.
The 5AGZE3 has more on-chip memory (18.7 Mb vs 15.6 Mb).
The 5AGZE3 is designed with Altera Quartus Prime and the XC7K325T with AMD Vivado; open source: openXC7 (experimental) with Project X-Ray.
