Key differences
Both devices offer similar logic capacity: 74K and 75.5K LUT4 equivalents.
They use different logic architectures: the EP4CGX75 is built from LUT4 and the XC7A75T from LUT6, so the raw LUT counts (74K vs 47.2K) are not directly comparable.
For arithmetic, the EP4CGX75 has 198 18×18 multipliers against 180 DSP slices on the XC7A75T.
Both have transceivers: 8 at up to 3.125 Gb/s on the EP4CGX75 and 8 at up to 6.6 Gb/s on the XC7A75T.
The EP4CGX75 is designed with Altera Quartus Prime and the XC7A75T with AMD Vivado.
