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: 152K and 152K LUT4 equivalents.
They use different logic architectures: the EP2AGX190 is built from ALMs and the RT4G150 from LUT4, so the raw LUT counts (76.1K vs 152K) are not directly comparable.
For arithmetic, the EP2AGX190 has 656 18×18 multipliers against 462 18×18 math blocks on the RT4G150.
The EP2AGX190 has more on-chip memory (7.4 Mb vs 5 Mb).
Both have transceivers: 16 at up to 6.375 Gb/s on the EP2AGX190 and 24 at up to 3.125 Gb/s on the RT4G150.
Configuration memory: sram on the EP2AGX190, non-volatile (flash) on the RT4G150.
The EP2AGX190 is designed with Altera Quartus Prime and the RT4G150 with Microchip Libero SoC.
