Key differences
The XC7Z030 has about 16% more logic capacity (126K vs 108K LUT4 equivalents).
They use different logic architectures: the Tz100 is built from LUT4 and the XC7Z030 from LUT6, so the raw LUT counts (108K vs 78.6K) are not directly comparable.
For arithmetic, the XC7Z030 has 400 DSP slices against 312 DSP blocks on the Tz100.
The XC7Z030 has more on-chip memory (9.3 Mb vs 6.3 Mb).
The Tz100 is designed with Efinix Efinity and the XC7Z030 with AMD Vivado.
