Key differences
The A5E 043A has about 22% more logic capacity (294K vs 240K LUT4 equivalents).
They use different logic architectures: the A5E 043A is built from ALMs and the XCVE2302 from LUT6, so the raw LUT counts (147K vs 150K) are not directly comparable.
For arithmetic, the A5E 043A has 564 variable-precision DSP blocks against 464 DSP Engines on the XCVE2302.
The XCVE2302 has more on-chip memory (49 Mb vs 20.5 Mb).
Both have transceivers: 16 at up to 28 Gb/s on the A5E 043A and 8 at up to 32.75 Gb/s on the XCVE2302.
The A5E 043A is designed with Altera Quartus Prime and the XCVE2302 with AMD Vivado.
