Key differences
The XCZU17EG has about 55% more logic capacity (677K vs 437K LUT4 equivalents).
They use different logic architectures: the A5D 064 is built from ALMs and the XCZU17EG from LUT6, so the raw LUT counts (218K vs 423K) are not directly comparable.
For arithmetic, the A5D 064 has 1,840 variable-precision DSP blocks against 1,590 DSP slices on the XCZU17EG.
Both have transceivers: 32 at up to 28 Gb/s on the A5D 064 and 72 at up to 32.75 Gb/s on the XCZU17EG.
The A5D 064 is designed with Altera Quartus Prime and the XCZU17EG with AMD Vivado.
