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 XCZU21DR has about 31% more logic capacity (680K vs 518K LUT4 equivalents).
They use different logic architectures: the AGF 008 is built from ALMs and the XCZU21DR from LUT6, so the raw LUT counts (259K vs 425K) are not directly comparable.
For arithmetic, the XCZU21DR has 4,272 DSP slices against 2,296 variable-precision DSP blocks on the AGF 008.
The AGF 008 has more on-chip memory (74 Mb vs 60.5 Mb).
Both have transceivers: 32 at up to 58 Gb/s on the AGF 008 and 16 at up to 28.21 Gb/s on the XCZU21DR.
The AGF 008 is designed with Altera Quartus Prime and the XCZU21DR with AMD Vivado.
