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
Both devices offer similar logic capacity: 718K and 759K LUT4 equivalents.
They use different logic architectures: the 5SEEB is built from ALMs and the XC6VLX760 from LUT6, so the raw LUT counts (359K vs 474K) are not directly comparable.
For arithmetic, the XC6VLX760 has 864 DSP48E1 slices against 352 variable-precision DSP blocks on the 5SEEB.
The 5SEEB has more on-chip memory (51.6 Mb vs 25.3 Mb).
The 5SEEB is designed with Altera Quartus Prime and the XC6VLX760 with AMD ISE Design Suite.
