Key differences
The LFMXO5-20TD has about 30% more logic capacity (16.7K vs 12.8K LUT4 equivalents).
They use different logic architectures: the LFMXO5-20TD is built from LUT4 and the XC7A12T from LUT6, so the raw LUT counts (16.7K vs 8K) are not directly comparable.
For arithmetic, the LFMXO5-20TD has 48 18×18 multipliers against 40 DSP slices on the XC7A12T.
The LFMXO5-20TD has more on-chip memory (1.2 Mb vs 0.7 Mb).
Both have transceivers: 1 at up to 0 Gb/s on the LFMXO5-20TD and 2 at up to 6.6 Gb/s on the XC7A12T.
Configuration memory: internal flash on the LFMXO5-20TD, sram on the XC7A12T.
The LFMXO5-20TD is designed with Lattice Radiant and the XC7A12T with AMD Vivado.
