AMD Versal XQR chips are RAD tolerant, at least according to the marketing material. See https://www.amd.com/en/products/adaptive-socs-and-fpgas/vers... and https://www.amd.com/content/dam/amd/en/documents/solutions/a... ("The space-grade (XQR) AMD Versal adaptive SoCs continue the AMD tradition of full radiation tolerant"). These are SoCs built around ARM Cortex-A72 and -A78 cores manufactured using modern 7nm processes.

Yes, the Xilinx space grade devices are engineered and qualified for radiation tolerance. These are FPGA socs and share no heritage with AMD desktop and server processors.
