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.
Key differences
The LFE3-95EA has about 23% more logic capacity (92K vs 74.6K LUT4 equivalents).
They use different logic architectures: the LFE3-95EA is built from LUT4 and the XC6SLX75T from LUT6, so the raw LUT counts (92K vs 46.6K) are not directly comparable.
For arithmetic, the XC6SLX75T has 132 DSP48A1 slices against 128 18×18 multipliers on the LFE3-95EA.
The LFE3-95EA has more on-chip memory (4.3 Mb vs 3 Mb).
The LFE3-95EA is designed with Lattice Diamond and the XC6SLX75T with AMD ISE Design Suite.
