Key differences
The GW5AS-138 has about 62% more logic capacity (138K vs 85.1K LUT4 equivalents).
They use different logic architectures: the GW5AS-138 is built from LUT4 and the XC7Z020 from LUT6, so the raw LUT counts (138K vs 53.2K) are not directly comparable.
For arithmetic, the GW5AS-138 has 298 27×18 DSP blocks against 220 DSP slices on the XC7Z020.
The GW5AS-138 has more on-chip memory (6 Mb vs 4.9 Mb).
The GW5AS-138 is designed with Gowin EDA and the XC7Z020 with AMD Vivado.
