Key differences
The XC7A75T has about 30% more logic capacity (75.5K vs 58.2K LUT4 equivalents).
They use different logic architectures: the 5CGTD5 is built from ALMs and the XC7A75T from LUT6, so the raw LUT counts (29.1K vs 47.2K) are not directly comparable.
For arithmetic, the XC7A75T has 180 DSP slices against 150 variable-precision DSP blocks on the 5CGTD5.
The 5CGTD5 has more on-chip memory (4.4 Mb vs 3.7 Mb).
Both have transceivers: 6 at up to 6.144 Gb/s on the 5CGTD5 and 8 at up to 6.6 Gb/s on the XC7A75T.
The 5CGTD5 is designed with Altera Quartus Prime and the XC7A75T with AMD Vivado.
