Key differences
The A5E 005B has about 21% more logic capacity (34.2K vs 28.2K LUT4 equivalents).
They use different logic architectures: the A5E 005B is built from ALMs and the XC7Z010 from LUT6, so the raw LUT counts (17.1K vs 17.6K) are not directly comparable.
For arithmetic, the XC7Z010 has 80 DSP slices against 65 variable-precision DSP blocks on the A5E 005B.
The A5E 005B has more on-chip memory (2.5 Mb vs 2.1 Mb).
The A5E 005B is designed with Altera Quartus Prime and the XC7Z010 with AMD Vivado.
