Key differences
The GW5AS-138 has about 22% more logic capacity (138K vs 114K LUT4 equivalents).
They use different logic architectures: the GW5AS-138 is built from LUT4 and the XCZU3EG from LUT6, so the raw LUT counts (138K vs 71K) are not directly comparable.
For arithmetic, the XCZU3EG has 360 DSP slices against 298 27×18 DSP blocks on the GW5AS-138.
The XCZU3EG has more on-chip memory (7.6 Mb vs 6 Mb).
The GW5AS-138 is designed with Gowin EDA and the XCZU3EG with AMD Vivado.
