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 XCVU190 has about 51% more logic capacity (1719K vs 1138K LUT4 equivalents).
They use different logic architectures: the MX 1650 E-tile is built from ALMs and the XCVU190 from LUT6, so the raw LUT counts (569K vs 1074K) are not directly comparable.
For arithmetic, the MX 1650 E-tile has 3,326 variable-precision DSP blocks against 1,800 DSP slices on the XCVU190.
Both have transceivers: 96 at up to 57.8 Gb/s on the MX 1650 E-tile and 120 at up to 30.5 Gb/s on the XCVU190.
The MX 1650 E-tile is designed with Altera Quartus Prime and the XCVU190 with AMD Vivado.
