FPGA data sheet tells only the max operating freq of that device

I don't agree. If you see e. g. table 5–15. cyclone ii performance from Cyclone II Device Handbook, it tells a lot more. Other interesting parameters are maximum operating frequency for particular interfaces. Also verified performance data of IP cores can give valuable hints. I can tell that I made predictions of design performance from such information more than once and it basically came true.
