Key differences
The 5CSEA4 has about 13% more logic capacity (31.8K vs 28.2K LUT4 equivalents).
They use different logic architectures: the 5CSEA4 is built from ALMs and the XC7Z010 from LUT6, so the raw LUT counts (15.9K vs 17.6K) are not directly comparable.
For arithmetic, the 5CSEA4 has 84 variable-precision DSP blocks against 80 DSP slices on the XC7Z010.
The 5CSEA4 has more on-chip memory (2.6 Mb vs 2.1 Mb).
The 5CSEA4 is designed with Altera Quartus Prime and the XC7Z010 with AMD Vivado.
