Key differences
The 5CSEA4 has about 38% more logic capacity (31.8K vs 23K LUT4 equivalents).
They use different logic architectures: the 5CSEA4 is built from ALMs and the XC7Z007S from LUT6, so the raw LUT counts (15.9K vs 14.4K) are not directly comparable.
For arithmetic, the 5CSEA4 has 84 variable-precision DSP blocks against 66 DSP slices on the XC7Z007S.
The 5CSEA4 has more on-chip memory (2.6 Mb vs 1.8 Mb).
The 5CSEA4 is designed with Altera Quartus Prime and the XC7Z007S with AMD Vivado.
