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 LAV-AT-E70 has about 40% more logic capacity (397K vs 283K LUT4 equivalents).
They use different logic architectures: the EP4SE360 is built from ALMs and the LAV-AT-E70 from LUT4, so the raw LUT counts (141K vs 397K) are not directly comparable.
For arithmetic, the LAV-AT-E70 has 1,800 18×18 multipliers against 1,040 18×18 multipliers on the EP4SE360.
The LAV-AT-E70 has more on-chip memory (35.6 Mb vs 17.7 Mb).
The EP4SE360 is designed with Altera Quartus Prime and the LAV-AT-E70 with Lattice Radiant.
