Key differences
Both devices offer similar logic capacity: 461K and 444K LUT4 equivalents.
They use different logic architectures: the MPFS460T is built from LUT4 and the XC7Z100 from LUT6, so the raw LUT counts (461K vs 277K) are not directly comparable.
For arithmetic, the XC7Z100 has 2,020 DSP slices against 1,420 18×18 math blocks (MACC) on the MPFS460T.
Configuration memory: non-volatile (sonos flash) on the MPFS460T, sram on the XC7Z100.
The MPFS460T is designed with Microchip Libero SoC and the XC7Z100 with AMD Vivado.
