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
Both devices offer similar logic capacity: 899K and 869K LUT4 equivalents.
They use different logic architectures: the DX 1100 is built from ALMs and the XC2VM3858 from LUT6, so the raw LUT counts (449K vs 543K) are not directly comparable.
For arithmetic, the DX 1100 has 2,592 variable-precision DSP blocks against 2,064 DSP Engines on the XC2VM3858.
The DX 1100 has more on-chip memory (107 Mb vs 80.4 Mb).
Both have transceivers: 32 at up to 57.8 Gb/s on the DX 1100 and 20 at up to 32.75 Gb/s on the XC2VM3858.
The DX 1100 is designed with Altera Quartus Prime and the XC2VM3858 with AMD Vivado.
