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 XC6VLX760 has about 20% more logic capacity (759K vs 634K LUT4 equivalents).
They use different logic architectures: the 5SEE9 is built from ALMs and the XC6VLX760 from LUT6, so the raw LUT counts (317K vs 474K) are not directly comparable.
For arithmetic, the XC6VLX760 has 864 DSP48E1 slices against 352 variable-precision DSP blocks on the 5SEE9.
The 5SEE9 has more on-chip memory (51.6 Mb vs 25.3 Mb).
The 5SEE9 is designed with Altera Quartus Prime and the XC6VLX760 with AMD ISE Design Suite.
