Key differences
The 5CGTD7 has about 41% more logic capacity (113K vs 80K LUT4 equivalents).
They use different logic architectures: the 5CGTD7 is built from ALMs and the LFCPNX-100 from LUT4, so the raw LUT counts (56.5K vs 80K) are not directly comparable.
Both have transceivers: 9 at up to 6.144 Gb/s on the 5CGTD7 and 8 at up to 10.3125 Gb/s on the LFCPNX-100.
The 5CGTD7 is designed with Altera Quartus Prime and the LFCPNX-100 with Lattice Radiant.
