Key differences
The GW5AT-15 has about 18% more logic capacity (15.1K vs 12.8K LUT4 equivalents).
They use different logic architectures: the GW5AT-15 is built from LUT4 and the XC7A12T from LUT6, so the raw LUT counts (15.1K vs 8K) are not directly comparable.
For arithmetic, the XC7A12T has 40 DSP slices against 28 27×18 DSP blocks on the GW5AT-15.
The XC7A12T has more on-chip memory (0.7 Mb vs 0.6 Mb).
Both have transceivers: 4 at up to 12.5 Gb/s on the GW5AT-15 and 2 at up to 6.6 Gb/s on the XC7A12T.
The GW5AT-15 is designed with Gowin EDA and the XC7A12T with AMD Vivado.
