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 XCVC2602 has about 9% more logic capacity (600K vs 548K LUT4 equivalents).
They use different logic architectures: the A27F008 is built from ALMs and the XCVC2602 from LUT6, so the raw LUT counts (274K vs 375K) are not directly comparable.
For arithmetic, the A27F008 has 1,096 AI Tensor DSP blocks against 984 DSP Engines on the XCVC2602.
The A27F008 has more on-chip memory (103 Mb vs 80 Mb).
Both have transceivers: 16 at up to 128 Gb/s on the A27F008 and 32 at up to 32.75 Gb/s on the XCVC2602.
The A27F008 is designed with Altera Quartus Prime and the XCVC2602 with AMD Vivado.
