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: 548K and 554K LUT4 equivalents.
They use different logic architectures: the A27F008 is built from ALMs and the XCVM2152 from LUT6, so the raw LUT counts (274K vs 346K) are not directly comparable.
For arithmetic, the XCVM2152 has 1,704 DSP Engines against 1,096 AI Tensor DSP blocks on the A27F008.
The A27F008 has more on-chip memory (103 Mb vs 81 Mb).
Both have transceivers: 16 at up to 128 Gb/s on the A27F008 and 16 at up to 58 Gb/s on the XCVM2152.
The A27F008 is designed with Altera Quartus Prime and the XCVM2152 with AMD Vivado.
