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 A27F018 has about 39% more logic capacity (1206K vs 867K LUT4 equivalents).
They use different logic architectures: the A27F018 is built from ALMs and the XCVP1052 from LUT6, so the raw LUT counts (603K vs 542K) are not directly comparable.
For arithmetic, the A27F018 has 2,208 AI Tensor DSP blocks against 1,572 DSP Engines on the XCVP1052.
The A27F018 has more on-chip memory (201 Mb vs 164 Mb).
Both have transceivers: 32 at up to 128 Gb/s on the A27F018 and 44 at up to 58 Gb/s on the XCVP1052.
The A27F018 is designed with Altera Quartus Prime and the XCVP1052 with AMD Vivado.
