How to calculate the gate count of FPGAs?

Hi, I need the approximate/equal gate count of FPGA devices (cyclone, Cyclone V, Stratix, Stratix GX....). can anyone help me to calculate the gatecount ???

FPGAs are fundamentally different. You cannot get a reliable "gate count" from an FPGA. The only meaningful figures are LUT count and register count.
