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 XCVP1002 has about 11% more logic capacity (609K vs 548K LUT4 equivalents).
They use different logic architectures: the A27F008 is built from ALMs and the XCVP1002 from LUT6, so the raw LUT counts (274K vs 381K) are not directly comparable.
For arithmetic, the XCVP1002 has 1,140 DSP Engines against 1,096 AI Tensor DSP blocks on the A27F008.
The XCVP1002 has more on-chip memory (116 Mb vs 103 Mb).
Both have transceivers: 16 at up to 128 Gb/s on the A27F008 and 32 at up to 58 Gb/s on the XCVP1002.
The A27F008 is designed with Altera Quartus Prime and the XCVP1002 with AMD Vivado.
