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: 205K and 215K LUT4 equivalents.
They use different logic architectures: the EP2AGX260 is built from ALMs and the XC7A200T from LUT6, so the raw LUT counts (103K vs 135K) are not directly comparable.
For arithmetic, the XC7A200T has 740 DSP slices against 736 18×18 multipliers on the EP2AGX260.
The XC7A200T has more on-chip memory (12.8 Mb vs 8.3 Mb).
Both have transceivers: 16 at up to 6.375 Gb/s on the EP2AGX260 and 16 at up to 6.6 Gb/s on the XC7A200T.
The EP2AGX260 is designed with Altera Quartus Prime and the XC7A200T with AMD Vivado; open source: F4PGA or openXC7 (experimental) with Project X-Ray.
