Key differences
Both devices offer similar logic capacity: 31.8K and 32K LUT4 equivalents.
They use different logic architectures: the 5CSEA4 is built from ALMs and the XCVE2002 from LUT6, so the raw LUT counts (15.9K vs 20K) are not directly comparable.
For arithmetic, the XCVE2002 has 90 DSP Engines against 84 variable-precision DSP blocks on the 5CSEA4.
The XCVE2002 has more on-chip memory (7.6 Mb vs 2.6 Mb).
The 5CSEA4 is designed with Altera Quartus Prime and the XCVE2002 with AMD Vivado.
