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 XC6SLX16 has about 14% more logic capacity (14.6K vs 12.8K LUT4 equivalents).
They use different logic architectures: the T13 is built from LUT4 and the XC6SLX16 from LUT6, so the raw LUT counts (— vs 9.1K) are not directly comparable.
For arithmetic, the XC6SLX16 has 32 DSP48A1 slices against 24 18×18 multipliers on the T13.
The T13 has more on-chip memory (0.7 Mb vs 0.6 Mb).
The T13 is designed with Efinix Efinity and the XC6SLX16 with AMD ISE Design Suite.
