Key differences
The 5CEA9 has about 31% more logic capacity (227K vs 173K LUT4 equivalents).
They use different logic architectures: the 5CEA9 is built from ALMs and the Ti180 from LUT4, so the raw LUT counts (114K vs 173K) are not directly comparable.
For arithmetic, the Ti180 has 640 DSP blocks against 342 variable-precision DSP blocks on the 5CEA9.
The 5CEA9 is designed with Altera Quartus Prime and the Ti180 with Efinix Efinity.
