Key differences
Both devices offer similar logic capacity: 256K and 255K LUT4 equivalents.
They use different logic architectures: the GX 400 is built from ALMs and the LAV-AT-X50 from LUT4, so the raw LUT counts (128K vs 255K) are not directly comparable.
For arithmetic, the LAV-AT-X50 has 1,120 18×18 multipliers against 648 variable-precision DSP blocks on the GX 400.
The GX 400 has more on-chip memory (30 Mb vs 22.7 Mb).
Both have transceivers: 24 at up to 28.3 Gb/s on the GX 400 and 16 at up to 25 Gb/s on the LAV-AT-X50.
The GX 400 is designed with Altera Quartus Prime and the LAV-AT-X50 with Lattice Radiant.
