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 XC2VP3402 has about 14% more logic capacity (1873K vs 1642K LUT4 equivalents).
They use different logic architectures: the SX 2500 is built from ALMs and the XC2VP3402 from LUT6, so the raw LUT counts (821K vs 1171K) are not directly comparable.
For arithmetic, the XC2VP3402 has 6,080 DSP Engines against 5,011 variable-precision DSP blocks on the SX 2500.
The XC2VP3402 has more on-chip memory (220 Mb vs 195 Mb).
Both have transceivers: 96 at up to 28.3 Gb/s on the SX 2500 and 56 at up to 112 Gb/s on the XC2VP3402.
The SX 2500 is designed with Altera Quartus Prime and the XC2VP3402 with AMD Vivado.
