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 A27F054 has about 24% more logic capacity (3470K vs 2806K LUT4 equivalents).
They use different logic architectures: the A27F054 is built from ALMs and the XCVH1582 from LUT6, so the raw LUT counts (1735K vs 1754K) are not directly comparable.
For arithmetic, the XCVH1582 has 7,392 DSP Engines against 6,648 AI Tensor DSP blocks on the A27F054.
The A27F054 has more on-chip memory (606 Mb vs 455 Mb).
Both have transceivers: 72 at up to 256 Gb/s on the A27F054 and 88 at up to 58 Gb/s on the XCVH1582.
The A27F054 is designed with Altera Quartus Prime and the XCVH1582 with AMD Vivado.
