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: 1704K and 1633K LUT4 equivalents.
They use different logic architectures: the A27F027 is built from ALMs and the XCVM2902 from LUT6, so the raw LUT counts (852K vs 1021K) are not directly comparable.
For arithmetic, the A27F027 has 3,284 AI Tensor DSP blocks against 2,672 DSP Engines on the XCVM2902.
The A27F027 has more on-chip memory (299 Mb vs 251 Mb).
Both have transceivers: 48 at up to 128 Gb/s on the A27F027 and 44 at up to 58 Gb/s on the XCVM2902.
The A27F027 is designed with Altera Quartus Prime and the XCVM2902 with AMD Vivado.
