Key differences
Both devices offer similar logic capacity: 109K and 101K LUT4 equivalents.
They use different logic architectures: the EP4CGX110 is built from LUT4 and the XC7A100T from LUT6, so the raw LUT counts (109K vs 63.4K) are not directly comparable.
For arithmetic, the EP4CGX110 has 280 18×18 multipliers against 240 DSP slices on the XC7A100T.
The EP4CGX110 has more on-chip memory (5.8 Mb vs 4.7 Mb).
Both have transceivers: 8 at up to 3.125 Gb/s on the EP4CGX110 and 8 at up to 6.6 Gb/s on the XC7A100T.
The EP4CGX110 is designed with Altera Quartus Prime and the XC7A100T with AMD Vivado.
