This is a good post. However I am not sure if I understand the table completely. Can you explain what the different numbers mean under the package, ex: for EP20K100 you have 2X and 2 under T144 column?
Thanks.

Those are speed grade designations. In the APEX 20K (nonE) family, the -X indicates PLLs are available. -1X is the -1 speed grade with PLLs. -2 is -2 speed grade with no PLLs.
