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: 264K and 275K LUT4 equivalents.
They use different logic architectures: the 5ASXB3 is built from ALMs and the XC7Z035 from LUT6, so the raw LUT counts (132K vs 172K) are not directly comparable.
For arithmetic, the XC7Z035 has 900 DSP slices against 809 variable-precision DSP blocks on the 5ASXB3.
Both have transceivers: 30 at up to 6.5536 Gb/s on the 5ASXB3 and 16 at up to 12.5 Gb/s on the XC7Z035.
The 5ASXB3 is designed with Altera Quartus Prime and the XC7Z035 with AMD Vivado; open source: openXC7 (experimental) with Project X-Ray.
