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 5SEEB has about 182% more logic capacity (718K vs 255K LUT4 equivalents).

They use different logic architectures: the 5SEEB is built from ALMs and the LAV-AT-E50 from LUT4, so the raw LUT counts (359K vs 255K) are not directly comparable.

For arithmetic, the LAV-AT-E50 has 1,120 18×18 multipliers against 352 variable-precision DSP blocks on the 5SEEB.

The 5SEEB has more on-chip memory (51.6 Mb vs 22.7 Mb).

The 5SEEB is designed with Altera Quartus Prime and the LAV-AT-E50 with Lattice Radiant.
