                                CERTAIN FACTORS
 
     In addition to the other information in this Prospectus and incorporated
herein by reference, the following factors should be carefully considered in
evaluating the Company and its business before purchasing shares of Common Stock
offered hereby.
 
     DEPENDENCE ON NEW PROCESS TECHNOLOGIES AND PRODUCTS. The Company believes
that its future success depends, in part, on its ability to improve its existing
technologies and to develop and implement new process technologies in order to
continue to reduce semiconductor die size, improve device performance and
manufacturing yields, adapt products and processes to technological changes and
adopt emerging industry standards. If the Company is not able to successfully
implement new process technologies and achieve volume production of new products
at acceptable yields using new manufacturing processes, the Company's operating
results will be adversely affected. In addition, the Company must continue to
develop and introduce new products that compete effectively on the basis of
price and performance and that satisfy customer requirements. New product
development often requires long-term forecasting of market trends, development
and implementation of new processes and technologies and a substantial capital
commitment. The Company intends the CoreWare library elements it offers to be
based upon industry standard functions, protocols and interfaces, thereby
positioning them to be useful in a wide variety of systems applications. The
Company is increasingly emphasizing engineering development and acquisition of
CoreWare building blocks and integration of CoreWare libraries into its design
capabilities. There can be no assurance, however, that the cores selected for
investment of the Company's financial and engineering resources will be
developed or acquired in a timely manner or will enjoy market acceptance.
 
     MANUFACTURING RISKS. Disruption of operations at any of the Company's
primary manufacturing facilities, particularly the Company's Japanese
facilities, or any of its subcontractors for any reason, including work
stoppages, fire, earthquake or other natural disasters, would cause delays in
shipments of the Company's products. There can be no assurance that alternate
capacity, particularly wafer production capacity, would be available on a timely
basis or at all, or that if available, it could be obtained on favorable terms.
The Company has been operating most of its manufacturing facilities at or close
to capacity during the last year. Although the Company currently has plans to
increase its production capacity through the installation of new production
equipment at its Japanese manufacturing facilities and its other facilities and
is evaluating other ways to increase capacity, there is no assurance that the
Company will be able to expand its manufacturing capacity to meet expected
future demand, which could result in a loss of customers and could materially
and adversely affect the Company's operating results. In addition, if demand for
the Company's products does not absorb the additional capacity, the increase in
fixed costs and operating expenses related to increases in production capacity
may materially and adversely affect the Company's operations.
 
     FLUCTUATIONS IN OPERATING RESULTS. The Company believes that its future
operating results will continue to be subject to quarterly variations based upon
a wide variety of factors, including the cyclical nature of both the
semiconductor industry and the markets addressed by the Company's products, the
ability to develop and implement new technologies, the availability and extent
of utilization of manufacturing capacity, changes in product mix, fluctuations
in manufacturing yields, the timing of new product introductions, price erosion,
exchange rate fluctuations and other competitive factors. As a participant in
the semiconductor industry, the Company operates in a technologically advanced,
rapidly changing and highly competitive environment. The Company predominantly
sells custom products to customers operating in a similar environment.
Accordingly, changes in the conditions of any of the Company's customers may
have a greater impact on the Company than if the Company offered standard
products that could be sold to many purchasers. While the Company cannot predict
what effect these various factors may have on its financial results, the
aggregate effect of these and other factors could result in significant
volatility in the Company's future performance and stock price. To the extent
the Company's performance may not meet expectations published by external
sources, public reaction could result in a sudden and significantly adverse
impact on the market price of the Company's securities, particularly on a
short-term basis.
 
     COMPETITION. The semiconductor industry in general and the markets in which
the Company competes in particular are intensely competitive, exhibiting both
rapid technological changes and continued price erosion. The Company's
competitors include many large domestic and foreign companies which have
substantially greater financial, technical and management resources than the
Company, as well as emerging
 
                                        4
<PAGE>   5
 
companies attempting to sell products to specialized markets such as those
addressed by the Company. Several major diversified electronics companies,
including Fujitsu, Ltd., Toshiba Corporation and NEC Corporation, and a number
of United States semiconductor manufacturers, including AT&T, Motorola Inc. and
Texas Instruments Incorporated, offer ASIC products or other products which are
competitive to the product lines of the Company. In addition, there is no
assurance that certain large customers, some of whom have licensed elements of
the Company's process and product technologies, will not develop internal design
and production operations to produce their own ASICs.
 
     CURRENCY RISKS. In countries in which the Company is conducting business in
a local currency, currency exchange fluctuations could adversely affect the
Company's revenues and costs. A substantial portion of the costs of the
Company's manufacturing operations are denominated in Japanese yen. In addition,
the Company purchases a substantial portion of its raw materials and equipment
from foreign suppliers and incurs labor costs in foreign locations. A portion of
these transactions are denominated in currencies other than in U.S. dollars,
principally in Japanese yen. International sales are generally denominated in
local currencies. The Company also has borrowings denominated in yen, which
totaled approximately 14 billion yen (approximately $142 million) at December
31, 1994. Such transactions and borrowings expose the Company to exchange rate
fluctuations for the period of time from inception of the transaction until it
is settled. In recent years, the yen has fluctuated substantially against the
U.S. dollar. However, the Company has entered and will from time to time enter
into hedging transactions in order to minimize exposure to currency rate
fluctuations. There can be no assurance that such hedging transactions will
minimize exposure to currency rate fluctuations or that fluctuations in currency
exchange rates in the future will not have an adverse impact on the Company's
results of operations.
 
     INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY AND LITIGATION. Although the Company believes that
the protection afforded by its patents, patent applications and trademarks has
value, the rapidly changing technology in the semiconductor industry makes the
Company's future success dependent primarily upon the technical competence and
creative skills of its personnel rather than on patent and trademark protection.
As is typical in the semiconductor industry, the Company has from time to time
received, and may in the future receive, communications from other parties
asserting patent rights, mask work rights, copyrights or trademark rights that
such other parties allege cover certain of the Company's products, processes,
technologies or information. Several such assertions relating to patents are in
various stages of evaluation. The Company is considering whether to seek
licenses with respect to certain of these claims. Litigation has arisen with
respect to one of these assertions. Based on industry practice, the Company
believes that licenses or other rights, if necessary, could be obtained on
commercially reasonable terms for such existing or future claims. Nevertheless,
no assurance can be given that licenses can be obtained, or if obtained will be
on acceptable terms or that litigation or other administrative proceedings will
not occur. The inability to obtain certain licenses or other rights or to obtain
such licenses or rights on favorable terms, or litigation arising out of such
other parties assertions, both existing and future, could have a material
adverse effect on the Company's future operating results.
 
     CYCLICAL NATURE OF THE SEMICONDUCTOR INDUSTRY. The semiconductor industry
is characterized by rapid technological change, rapid product obsolescence and
price erosion. The semiconductor industry historically has been characterized by
wide fluctuations in product supply and demand. From time to time the industry
also has experienced significant downturns, often in connection with, or in
anticipation of, maturing product cycles (of both the semiconductor companies
and their customers) and declines in general economic conditions. These
downturns have been characterized by diminished product demand, production
overcapacity and subsequent accelerated erosion of average selling prices, and
in some cases, have lasted for more than a year. For example, the Company
believes that its operating results were adversely affected by an industry-wide
downturn in the demand for semiconductors beginning in 1990, culminating in the
Company's 1992 restructuring charge and reorganization of its operations.
Currently, the semiconductor industry in general, including the Company, is
experiencing a period of increased demand. There is no assurance that these
conditions will continue. The Company may experience substantial
period-to-period fluctuations in future operating results due to general
industry conditions, events occurring in the worldwide economy or a significant
industry-wide downturn.

                                  THE COMPANY
 
     LSI Logic Corporation (the "Company") is a leader in the design,
development, manufacture and marketing of high performance application-specific
integrated circuits ("ASICs"). The Company uses advanced process technology and
computer-aided design methodology to design and develop highly complex ASICs and
other integrated circuits. The Company's sub-micron process technologies
combined with its product libraries, including CoreWare libraries, provide the
Company with the ability to integrate system level solutions on a single chip.
 
     The Company has increasingly directed its marketing and selling efforts
toward selected customers in high growth end markets which are characterized by
increasingly shortened product cycles and ongoing changes in technological
standards and performance requirements. As a result, customers in these markets
tend to benefit from the flexibility of customized ASIC design methodology to
help differentiate their products while still complying with existing and
emerging global industry standards such as Ethernet and ATM (Asynchronous
Transfer Mode) in the networking market, PCI bus interface in the personal
computer market and MPEG2 (Motion Picture Experts Group) for video compression
applications in the digital video market.
 
     The Company focuses its product marketing strategy primarily on original
equipment manufacturers in the electronic data processing, telecommunications
and certain office automation industries and, within these industries,
emphasizes digital video, networking, desktop and personal computing and
wireless communication applications. The Company increasingly directs its
marketing and selling efforts towards a limited number of customers that are
acknowledged industry leaders in these markets. The Company's customers include
Alcatel NV, AT&T, Cisco Systems, Inc., Compaq Computer Corporation, Digital
Equipment Corporation, Hewlett-Packard Company, International Business Machines
Corporation, Intel Corporation, Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd.,
Newbridge Networks Corporation, Oki Electric Industry Co., Ltd., Siemens AG,
Silicon Graphics, Inc., Sony Corporation and Sun Microsystems, Inc.
 
     The Company's CoreWare product library approach and its sub-micron process
technologies permit system-level integration of functional cores or elements
including microprocessor "engines," logic blocks (including industry standard
functions, protocols and interfaces), memory and customer-specific proprietary
logic functions on a single piece of silicon. Examples of these elements include
the MIPS microprocessor core family and cores implementing Ethernet, MPEG, JPEG
and ATM standards. This methodology enables customers to improve the
performance, reliability and further differentiate their products while
shortening product development cycles, lowering development costs and optimizing
the customer's application.
 
     The Company's proprietary computer-aided design tools are highly integrated
with the Company's manufacturing process requirements, thereby providing high
predictability that a product's physical performance will mirror the computer
simulation of the chip and affording high predictability of performance of
products developed using the Company's design methodology. The Company's
sophisticated design tools, advanced process technology and sub-micron
manufacturing capability are intended to provide customers with highly
integrated solutions that work right the first time.
 
     The Company provides customers with a comprehensive approach and a
continuum of solutions for the design and manufacture of leading-edge ASICs.
This allows customers substantial flexibility in how they proceed with an ASIC
design project. A customer may establish product specifications for
implementation into a particular chip design by the customer's engineers, by the
Company's engineers on a "turn-key" basis or through a collaborative effort. The
Company's design environment includes expanded interface capabilities to certain
third party EDA software design tools from companies such as Cadence Design
Systems, Inc., Mentor Graphics Corporation and Synopsys, Inc.
 
     The Company has developed and uses advanced manufacturing process
technologies, including 0.6-micron and 0.5-micron CMOS processes, for its
advanced product offerings. As process technology becomes more sophisticated,
allowing greater density and increased functionality on a single chip, the
system-on-a-chip is becoming the foundation of the Company's approach to the
marketplace.
 
                                        6

     The Company believes that owning its wafer manufacturing facilities not
only provides better access to capacity but also improves quality,
cost-effectiveness, responsiveness to customers, its ability to implement
leading-edge process technology and time-to-market as compared to companies that
do not own their own wafer fabrication facilities. The Company's manufacturing
operations are located in the United States, Japan and Hong Kong. The Company
performs substantially all of its packaging, assembly and final test operations
through third party subcontractors in various locations. During 1994, the
Company's United States production operations received ISO-9002 certification,
an important international measure for quality.
 
     The Company markets its products and services on a worldwide basis through
its direct sales, marketing and field technical staff of approximately 750
employees (including its majority-owned subsidiaries in Europe, Canada and
Japan), and through independent sales representatives and distributors. The
Company operates over 25 design centers around the world to assist customers in
product design activities. The Company's network of design centers allows the
Company to provide its customers with highly experienced engineers to interact
with its customers' engineering management and system architects to develop
designs for new products and to provide continuing after-sale customer support.
 
     The Company was incorporated in California on November 6, 1980 and
reincorporated in Delaware on June 11, 1987. Its principal offices are located
at 1551 McCarthy Boulevard, Milpitas, California 95035, and its telephone number
at that location is (408) 433-8000. Except where otherwise indicated, references
to the "Company" means LSI Logic Corporation and its majority- and wholly-owned
subsidiaries.

                                USE OF PROCEEDS
    
     The net proceeds from the sale of Common Stock offered hereby are estimated
to be $137,007,500 ($157,603,625 if the Underwriters' over-allotment option is
exercised in full) after deducting the estimated underwriters' discounts and
commissions and expenses payable by the Company in connection with the offering.
The Company intends to use such net proceeds primarily to strengthen its
financial position and for capital expenditures, principally to purchase
equipment for its Japanese manufacturing facilities, and general corporate
purposes. During 1995, the Company expects to make net capital expenditures of
approximately $150 million. In addition, the Company, from time to time, may
consider acquisitions of, or investments in, complementary businesses, assets or
technologies. At the present time, however, the Company has no agreements or
understandings, nor are there any negotiations pending, with respect to any
material acquisitions. The Company believes that the net proceeds from the sale
of the Common Stock in this offering, together with existing cash balances, cash
flow from operations and available equipment lease financing, will be sufficient
to meet the Company's liquidity and capital requirements for the next 12 months.
The Company believes that success in its industry requires substantial financial
strength and flexibility. Accordingly, the Company may seek additional equity or
debt financing to fund further expansion of its fabrication capacity or for
other purposes. Pending such uses, the Company will invest the net proceeds in
short- or medium-term income producing investments.

     The Company has paid no cash dividends on its Common Stock since its
incorporation and anticipates that for the foreseeable future it will continue

(1) The Company's fiscal year ends on the Sunday closest to December 31. For
    presentation purposes, the consolidated financial statements refer to
    December 31 as year end. Fiscal 1993 was a 53-week year, whereas, 1994,
    1992, 1991 and 1990 were 52-week years. The fourth quarter of 1993 was a
    14-week quarter, whereas the first, second and third quarters were 13-week
    quarters. The additional week in the fourth quarter of 1993 did not have a
    material impact on the Company's results of operations.
 
(2) Certain reclassifications have been made to the 1992 and 1993 consolidated
    financial statements to conform to the 1994 presentation. Such
    reclassifications had no effect on results of operations or stockholders'
    equity. Excludes the effect of the Company's January 26, 1995 acquisition of
    all minority-owned common shares (a 45% interest) of its Japanese
    manufacturing subsidiary as well as the defeasance of the resulting debt.
    These activities had the effect of reducing minority interest in
    subsidiaries by $92.8 million, reducing cash by $125.9 million and
    increasing property and equipment by $33.1 million.
