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 A27F027 has about 18% more logic capacity (1704K vs 1440K LUT4 equivalents).
They use different logic architectures: the A27F027 is built from ALMs and the XCVP1202 from LUT6, so the raw LUT counts (852K vs 900K) are not directly comparable.
For arithmetic, the XCVP1202 has 3,984 DSP Engines against 3,284 AI Tensor DSP blocks on the A27F027.
The A27F027 has more on-chip memory (299 Mb vs 237 Mb).
Both have transceivers: 48 at up to 128 Gb/s on the A27F027 and 48 at up to 58 Gb/s on the XCVP1202.
The A27F027 is designed with Altera Quartus Prime and the XCVP1202 with AMD Vivado.
