Key differences
The EP4CGX75 has about 25% more logic capacity (74K vs 59.2K LUT4 equivalents).
They use different logic architectures: the EP4CGX75 is built from LUT4 and the XCAU7P from LUT6, so the raw LUT counts (74K vs 37K) are not directly comparable.
For arithmetic, the XCAU7P has 216 DSP slices against 198 18×18 multipliers on the EP4CGX75.
Both have transceivers: 8 at up to 3.125 Gb/s on the EP4CGX75 and 4 at up to 16.3 Gb/s on the XCAU7P.
The EP4CGX75 is designed with Altera Quartus Prime and the XCAU7P with AMD Vivado.
