Highlighted values are higher. LUT counts are shown as published; the LUT4 equivalent is an approximation to compare different LUT types, see how FPGA vendors count logic. Add up to two more devices to this comparison.

The MX 1650 E-tile has about 27% more logic capacity (1138K vs 899K LUT4 equivalents).

For arithmetic, the MX 1650 E-tile has 3,326 variable-precision DSP blocks against 2,592 variable-precision DSP blocks on the GX 1100.

The MX 1650 E-tile has more on-chip memory (120 Mb vs 107 Mb).

Both have transceivers: 48 at up to 28.3 Gb/s on the GX 1100 and 96 at up to 57.8 Gb/s on the MX 1650 E-tile.

The GX 1100 is designed with Altera Quartus Prime and the MX 1650 E-tile with Altera Quartus Prime.
