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: 799K and 833K LUT4 equivalents.
They use different logic architectures: the A27F012 is built from ALMs and the XCVM2202 from LUT6, so the raw LUT counts (400K vs 521K) are not directly comparable.
For arithmetic, the A27F012 has 1,464 AI Tensor DSP blocks against 1,312 DSP Engines on the XCVM2202.
The A27F012 has more on-chip memory (133 Mb vs 95 Mb).
Both have transceivers: 16 at up to 128 Gb/s on the A27F012 and 32 at up to 32.75 Gb/s on the XCVM2202.
The A27F012 is designed with Altera Quartus Prime and the XCVM2202 with AMD Vivado.
