          LSI Logic Reports 36 Percent Q3 Revenue Growth Over Q3 1998

MILPITAS, CALIFORNIA - LSI Logic Corporation (NYSE:LSI) today reported 1999
third quarter revenues of $540 million, a 36 percent increase over the $397
million posted in the third quarter of 1998.

The 1999 third quarter revenues were also 8 percent higher than the $501 million
reported in the second quarter of this year, marking the seventh quarter of
sequential sales growth. All LSI Logic operating divisions reported sequential
revenue growth from the second to the third quarter.

Net income before amortization of goodwill and other special items (EBG) was $55
million or 35 cents a diluted share, up from $31 million or 21 cents a diluted
share in the second quarter. The third quarter EBG net income figure represented
an increase of 139 percent over the $23 million or 16 cents a diluted share in
the third quarter of 1998.

Gross margin improved 250 basis points to 39.7 percent in the third quarter from
the 37.2 percent in the second quarter, and 480 basis points from the 34.9
percent in the first quarter of the year.

Operating expenses, excluding goodwill amortization, declined to 25.7 percent of
total revenues in the second quarter from 27.5 percent in the third quarter.

Cash and short-term investments grew more than $100 million to $457 million in
the third quarter of the year from $345 million in the second quarter, and $166
million from $291 million in the first quarter.

"Our solid financial performance reflected across-the-board improvements in all
of our operating units," said Wilfred J. Corrigan, LSI Logic chairman and chief
executive officer. "The company also benefited from increased factory
utilization in the third quarter, which contributed to an expansion of our gross
margin. We are well positioned for continued growth in the fourth quarter."

Corrigan said the Taiwan earthquake had negligible impact on LSI Logic's
business. "Customers are requiring their suppliers to demonstrate that their
products can be produced in more than one geographic location," said Corrigan.
"That's exactly why LSI Logic maintains advanced manufacturing operations in
Oregon, Japan, Colorado and California as well as foundry relationships in East
Asia."

                        LSI LOGIC GLOBAL MARKET OVERVIEW

"LSI Logic's revenue of $1.50 billion in the first three quarters of this year
has already nearly equaled the $1.51 billion in annual revenue reported in
1998," said Doug Norby, LSI Logic executive vice president and chief financial
officer. "The results of the first three quarters of the year demonstrate that
the company is exceeding its financial targets."

"The rapid growth of the Internet infrastructure is proving to be a magnet for
our highly integrated system-on-a-chip solutions," said John Daane, LSI Logic
executive vice president of Communications, Computer and ASIC Products. "New
design wins for our system-on-a-chip solutions were strong in the third quarter,
setting a record for projected revenues per program."

"The third quarter reflected strength in both satellite set-top boxes and video
games," said Elie Antoun, LSI Logic executive vice president of Consumer
Products. "Sales of our single-chip solution for DVD doubled in the third
quarter as the product is now shipping in volume to multiple customers."

"The Storage Systems division produced record revenues and bookings in the third
quarter as the growth of the Internet drove the demand for LSI Logic's storage
systems solutions," said Tom Georgens, LSI Logic senior vice president for
Storage Systems.

              THIRD QUARTER 1999 BUSINESS AND TECHNOLOGY HIGHLIGHTS

- - Dataquest named LSI Logic as the number one worldwide merchant market share
  leader for both standard cells and total ASIC products in 1998. Aided in part
  by the 1998 Symbios acquisition, LSI Logic's total ASIC revenues grew by 29
  percent, the largest annual growth among market leaders.

- - LSI Logic announced the addition of an embedded FPGA core into the company's
  CoreWare(R) library for high-volume programmable applications. The addition of
  embedded FPGA capability provides designers with both FPGA flexibility and the
  ASIC/ASSP advantages of lower cost, reduced size, lower power and higher
  performance.

- - LSI Logic announced a licensing strategy for the new ZSP(TM) digital signal
  processor (DSP) architecture. LSI Logic's high-performance DSP is available to
  customers either as an intellectual property core or as a standard product.

- - LSI Logic Storage Systems, Inc. concluded a multi-year agreement with the
  Hewlett-Packard Company to supply advanced fibre channel storage array
  controller technology for integration into HP storage solutions.

- - LSI Logic and Hana Technologies Ltd. announced that Hana will license LSI
  Logic's Enhanced Plastic Ball Grid Array (EPBGA) and Chip Scale Package (CSP)
  technologies. The Hana endorsement is another step toward establishing LSI
  Logic's packaging technology as an industry standard.

- - LSI Logic introduced the CW1008, an ARM7TDMI-based processor core, which is
  available as part of LSI Logic's extensive CoreWare(R) library.

- - LSI Logic announced the AMCU silicon development platform, a fully integrated
  microprocessor device specifically targeted at easing development of embedded
  ARM7TDMI ASIC designs.

Pro forma net income is intended to present the Company's operating results,
excluding amortization of goodwill and special items, for the three and
nine-month periods ended September 30, 1999 and 1998.

During the three-month period ended September 30, 1999, the special item was
reversal of a portion of restructuring reserves originally established in the
third quarter of 1998 due to changes in management's estimates. During the
nine-month period ended September 30, 1999, the special items also included
acquired in-process research and development related to the acquisition of a
non-public technology company, expenses related to effecting a business
combination with Seeq Technology, Inc. and the cumulative effect of change in
accounting principle in addition to the reversal of the restructuring reserves.

During the three and the nine month periods ended September 30, 1998, special
items included acquired in-process research and development related to the
acquisition of Symbios, Inc. and restructuring charges. Other special items
primarily consisted of the impairment of stock investments, write-offs of assets
not relating to restructuring and litigation settlement costs. Note that the
provision for income taxes for the pro forma statements was calculated using the
Company's normal 25% tax rate for the periods presented.

A reconciliation from pro forma net income to the reported results is presented
on the following page. The format presented above is not in accordance with
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles

        periods ended September 30, 1998, respectively, which are excluded from
        diluted earnings per share because of their antidilutive effect. Common
        equivalents in the either period did not significantly impact earnings
        per share.

*       Diluted earnings per share are based on average common and common
        equivalent shares outstanding. In computing diluted earnings per share
        for the three month period ended September 30, 1999, net income is
        increased by $2,749 for interest, net of taxes, on the convertible
        debentures considered dilutive common stock equivalents.

        For the nine month period ended September 30, 1999, common equivalent
        shares of 8,018 and interest expense of $5,523, net of taxes, associated
        with the convertible debentures were excluded from the computation of
        diluted earnings per share as a result of their antidilutive effect. No
        convertible debentures were outstanding in 1998.
