Key differences
The XCZU19EG has about 47% more logic capacity (837K vs 570K LUT4 equivalents).
They use different logic architectures: the SX 850 is built from ALMs and the XCZU19EG from LUT6, so the raw LUT counts (285K vs 523K) are not directly comparable.
For arithmetic, the SX 850 has 2,016 variable-precision DSP blocks against 1,968 DSP slices on the XCZU19EG.
Both have transceivers: 48 at up to 28.3 Gb/s on the SX 850 and 72 at up to 32.75 Gb/s on the XCZU19EG.
The SX 850 is designed with Altera Quartus Prime and the XCZU19EG with AMD Vivado.
