FPGA comparison

Virtex-6 vs Virtex-7

The AMD Xilinx Virtex-6 and AMD Xilinx Virtex-7 families side by side, from the 28 devices and 390 orderable parts in our catalogue.

Key differences

Virtex-6 spans 74,496 to 549,888 logic cells; Virtex-7 spans 326,400 to 1,954,560 logic cells. The largest Virtex-7 has 3.6× the logic of the largest Virtex-6.
Block RAM: up to 38,304 Kb on Virtex-6, 67,680 Kb on Virtex-7.
Packages: 484 to 1,924 pins on Virtex-6, 1,155 to 1,932 pins on Virtex-7.
Neither is a drop-in replacement for the other: package, pinout and configuration differ, so a change of family needs engineering review.
