FPGA comparison
Kintex-7 vs Virtex-7
The AMD Xilinx Kintex-7 and AMD Xilinx Virtex-7 families side by side, from the 19 devices and 256 orderable parts in our catalogue.
Key differences
- Kintex-7 spans 65,600 to 477,760 logic cells; Virtex-7 spans 326,400 to 1,954,560 logic cells. The largest Virtex-7 has 4.1× the logic of the largest Kintex-7.
- Both have serial transceivers: up to 32 on Kintex-7 and 96 on Virtex-7.
- DSP: up to 1,920 slices on Kintex-7, 3,600 on Virtex-7.
- Block RAM: up to 34,380 Kb on Kintex-7, 67,680 Kb on Virtex-7.
- Packages: 484 to 1,156 pins on Kintex-7, 1,155 to 1,932 pins on Virtex-7.
- Only Kintex-7 is listed in automotive temperature grade.
- Neither is a drop-in replacement for the other: package, pinout and configuration differ, so a change of family needs engineering review.
