Cyclone IV FPGA Speed Grades

[RobertoG1]

We are using this device (EP4CE40F23C8N) for our video mixer. We can't find the same device but were offered a similar with different speed grade (faster speeds C6N, C7N suffixes).
Would that hardware change be compatible using the same program from C8N or it requires a change in the program setup?

C6 and C7 are just faster speed grades of the C8 device.
Program image is identical.
Should work just fine unless you did something really weird in the original design.
