Key differences
The A5E 028B has about 14% more logic capacity (191K vs 168K LUT4 equivalents).
They use different logic architectures: the A5E 028B is built from ALMs and the XCVE2202 from LUT6, so the raw LUT counts (95.7K vs 105K) are not directly comparable.
For arithmetic, the A5E 028B has 376 variable-precision DSP blocks against 324 DSP Engines on the XCVE2202.
The XCVE2202 has more on-chip memory (34.2 Mb vs 14 Mb).
Both have transceivers: 12 at up to 17 Gb/s on the A5E 028B and 8 at up to 32.75 Gb/s on the XCVE2202.
The A5E 028B is designed with Altera Quartus Prime and the XCVE2202 with AMD Vivado.
