Key differences
The 5CEA9 has about 88% more logic capacity (227K vs 121K LUT4 equivalents).
They use different logic architectures: the 5CEA9 is built from ALMs and the Ti120 from LUT4, so the raw LUT counts (114K vs 121K) are not directly comparable.
For arithmetic, the Ti120 has 448 DSP blocks against 342 variable-precision DSP blocks on the 5CEA9.
The 5CEA9 has more on-chip memory (11.9 Mb vs 9.2 Mb).
The 5CEA9 is designed with Altera Quartus Prime and the Ti120 with Efinix Efinity.
