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 MX 1650 has about 18% more logic capacity (1138K vs 962K LUT4 equivalents).
They use different logic architectures: the MX 1650 is built from ALMs and the XCVU5P from LUT6, so the raw LUT counts (569K vs 601K) are not directly comparable.
For arithmetic, the XCVU5P has 3,474 DSP slices against 3,326 variable-precision DSP blocks on the MX 1650.
The XCVU5P has more on-chip memory (168.2 Mb vs 120 Mb).
Both have transceivers: 96 at up to 28.3 Gb/s on the MX 1650 and 80 at up to 32.75 Gb/s on the XCVU5P.
The MX 1650 is designed with Altera Quartus Prime and the XCVU5P with AMD Vivado.
