Highlighted values are higher. Logic is compared in LUT4 equivalents; see how FPGA vendors count logic.
Key differences
The T8 has about 23% more logic capacity (7.4K vs 6K LUT4 equivalents).
They use different logic architectures: the T8 is built from LUT4 and the XC7S6 from LUT6, so the raw LUT counts (— vs 3.8K) are not directly comparable.
For arithmetic, the XC7S6 has 10 DSP slices against 8 18×18 multipliers on the T8.
The XC7S6 has more on-chip memory (0.2 Mb vs 0.1 Mb).
The T8 is designed with Efinix Efinity and the XC7S6 with AMD Vivado.
