Highlighted values are higher. LUT counts are shown as published; the LUT4 equivalent is an approximation to compare different LUT types, see how FPGA vendors count logic. Add up to two more devices to this comparison.
Key differences
The LCMXO2-256 has about 540% more logic capacity (256 vs 40 LUT4 equivalents).
The 5M40Z is designed with Altera Quartus Prime and the LCMXO2-256 with Lattice Diamond; open source: Yosys + nextpnr-machxo2 (experimental) with Project Trellis.
