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 XCSU60P has about 33% more logic capacity (48K vs 36.1K LUT4 equivalents).
They use different logic architectures: the EP2AGX45 is built from ALMs and the XCSU60P from LUT6, so the raw LUT counts (18.1K vs 30K) are not directly comparable.
For arithmetic, the EP2AGX45 has 232 18×18 multipliers against 144 DSP slices on the XCSU60P.
The XCSU60P has more on-chip memory (3.4 Mb vs 2.8 Mb).
Both have transceivers: 8 at up to 6.375 Gb/s on the EP2AGX45 and 4 at up to 16.3 Gb/s on the XCSU60P.
The EP2AGX45 is designed with Altera Quartus Prime and the XCSU60P with AMD Vivado.
