Key differences
The 5CEA2 has about 18% more logic capacity (18.9K vs 16K LUT4 equivalents).
They use different logic architectures: the 5CEA2 is built from ALMs and the XCSU25P from LUT6, so the raw LUT counts (9.4K vs 10K) are not directly comparable.
For arithmetic, the XCSU25P has 36 DSP slices against 25 variable-precision DSP blocks on the 5CEA2.
The 5CEA2 is designed with Altera Quartus Prime and the XCSU25P with AMD Vivado.
