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 EP4SE360 has about 74% more logic capacity (283K vs 163K LUT4 equivalents).
They use different logic architectures: the EP4SE360 is built from ALMs and the LAV-AT-E30 from LUT4, so the raw LUT counts (141K vs 163K) are not directly comparable.
For arithmetic, the EP4SE360 has 1,040 18×18 multipliers against 700 18×18 multipliers on the LAV-AT-E30.
The EP4SE360 has more on-chip memory (17.7 Mb vs 14.4 Mb).
The EP4SE360 is designed with Altera Quartus Prime and the LAV-AT-E30 with Lattice Radiant.
