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 XC7VX330T has about 8% more logic capacity (326K vs 302K LUT4 equivalents).

They use different logic architectures: the 5AGZE5 is built from ALMs and the XC7VX330T from LUT6, so the raw LUT counts (151K vs 204K) are not directly comparable.

For arithmetic, the XC7VX330T has 1,120 DSP slices against 1,092 variable-precision DSP blocks on the 5AGZE5.

Both have transceivers: 36 at up to 12.5 Gb/s on the 5AGZE5 and 28 at up to 13.1 Gb/s on the XC7VX330T.

The 5AGZE5 is designed with Altera Quartus Prime and the XC7VX330T with AMD Vivado.
