Key differences
The XC7A200T has about 12% more logic capacity (215K vs 192K LUT4 equivalents).
They use different logic architectures: the MPF200T is built from LUT4 and the XC7A200T from LUT6, so the raw LUT counts (192K vs 135K) are not directly comparable.
For arithmetic, the XC7A200T has 740 DSP slices against 588 18×18 math blocks (MACC) on the MPF200T.
Both have transceivers: 16 at up to 12.7 Gb/s on the MPF200T and 16 at up to 6.6 Gb/s on the XC7A200T.
Configuration memory: non-volatile (sonos flash) on the MPF200T, sram on the XC7A200T.
The MPF200T is designed with Microchip Libero SoC and the XC7A200T with AMD Vivado.
