Key differences
The GW1N-9 has about 8% more logic capacity (8.6K vs 8K LUT4 equivalents).
They use different logic architectures: the GW1N-9 is built from LUT4 and the XCSU10P from LUT6, so the raw LUT counts (8.6K vs 5K) are not directly comparable.
For arithmetic, the XCSU10P has 24 DSP slices against 20 18×18 multipliers on the GW1N-9.
The XCSU10P has more on-chip memory (1.7 Mb vs 0.5 Mb).
Configuration memory: embedded flash on the GW1N-9, sram on the XCSU10P.
The GW1N-9 is designed with Gowin EDA and the XCSU10P with AMD Vivado.
