Key differences
The GW5AS-138 has about 84% more logic capacity (138K vs 75.2K LUT4 equivalents).
They use different logic architectures: the GW5AS-138 is built from LUT4 and the XCZU2EG from LUT6, so the raw LUT counts (138K vs 47K) are not directly comparable.
For arithmetic, the GW5AS-138 has 298 27×18 DSP blocks against 240 DSP slices on the XCZU2EG.
The GW5AS-138 has more on-chip memory (6 Mb vs 5.3 Mb).
The GW5AS-138 is designed with Gowin EDA and the XCZU2EG with AMD Vivado.
