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
Both devices offer similar logic capacity: 570K and 570K LUT4 equivalents.
Both have transceivers: 48 at up to 28.3 Gb/s on the SX 850 and 72 at up to 57.8 Gb/s on the TX 850.
The SX 850 is designed with Altera Quartus Prime and the TX 850 with Altera Quartus Prime.
