                 1999 LSI LOGIC REVENUES EXCEED $2 BILLION MARK
                         -- NET INCOME UP 85 PERCENT --

        Communications comprises nearly 40 percent of LSI Logic revenues;
                 Fastest growing sector of LSI Logic's business


MILPITAS, CALIFORNIA - LSI Logic Corporation (NYSE: LSI) today reported 1999
record revenues of $2.09 billion, a 38 percent increase over the $1.52 billion
in 1998. During 1999 profits grew at more than twice the rate of revenue growth,
and cash more than doubled to $661 million.

Net income for 1999, before amortization of goodwill and other special items
(EBG), was $174 million or $1.12 a diluted share, an 85 percent increase over
the $94 million in net income or 65 cents a diluted share reported for 1998.

LSI Logic also announced a stock dividend in the form of a two-for-one common
stock split, effective February 4, 2000. Shareholders of record on that date
will receive one new share of common stock for each share held. The distribution
of the new shares will occur on February 16, 2000. Distribution of the
additional shares will increase the number of common shares issued and
outstanding from approximately 150 million to 300 million.

"LSI Logic enters the new century growing faster than the global semiconductor
industry as a whole and strategically positioned to capitalize on the global
communications revolution," said Wilfred J. Corrigan, LSI Logic chairman and
chief executive officer. "We have strong momentum as a result of our record
bookings in the fourth quarter. We have the right products at the right time in
the right markets."

LSI Logic recorded $585 million in revenues for the 1999 fourth quarter, a 30
percent increase over the $451 million reported in the fourth quarter of 1998.
Revenues in the 1999 fourth quarter were 8 percent higher than the $540 million
reported in the third quarter, the eighth quarter of sequential revenue growth.

Fourth quarter 1999 EBG net income was $76 million or 47 cents a diluted share.
The fourth quarter EBG net income figure represented an increase of 986 percent
over the $7 million or 5 cents a diluted share in the fourth quarter of 1998.
Cash and short-term investments grew by more than $200 million in the fourth
quarter.

"Our strategic cash position and greater cash flow provides us with the vital
capital to make strategic acquisitions and to invest in the technologies in the
future," said Doug Norby, LSI Logic executive vice president and chief financial
officer.

Included in the $200 million of fourth quarter cash generation are $42 million
of special one-time gains realized on the sale of venture investments. (These
special gains are not included in net income before goodwill amortization and
other special items.)

LSI Logic also announced that these special proceeds are being used to establish
a $50 million venture fund to invest in emerging communications technologies and
start-ups.

                       LSI LOGIC COMMUNICATIONS HIGHLIGHTS

John Daane, LSI Logic executive vice president of the Communications Products
Group, noted that products for communications applications already comprise
approximately 39 percent of LSI Logic revenues and represents the fastest
growing part of the company's business.

The convergence of data, voice and video is accelerating our growth in the
communications space," said Daane. "LSI Logic is providing the key components of
wireless, optical switching, set-top box, networking, broadband communications
systems and other rapidly growing communications applications."

Supporting the increased business generated from communications and other
applications, Corrigan said that LSI Logic has ample 0.18-micron internal
capacity, augmented by strategic foundry relationships, to accommodate demand
well in excess of the anticipated growth rate for the global semiconductor
industry.

"The investments we have made and our strategic manufacturing relationships are
now benefiting our high-volume, high-growth customers," said Corrigan. "Our
worldwide manufacturing strategy is a competitive advantage as we enter the
second year of the industry upswing."

Pro forma statements of operations are intended to present the Company's
operating results, excluding amortization of goodwill and special items, for the
periods presented.

During the three month periods ended December 31, 1999 and 1998, the special
item represented an unplanned gain on sale of equity securities. During the year
ended December 31, 1999, the special items consisted of acquired in-process
research and development related to the acquisition of a non-public technology
company, restructuring of operations and other non-recurring items, consisting
of the reversal of a portion of restructuring reserves originally established in
the third quarter of 1998 due to changes in management's estimate, expenses
related to effecting a business combination with Seeq Technology, Inc., an
unplanned gain on sale of equity securities, and the cumulative effect of change
in accounting principle.

During the year ended December 31, 1998, special items consisted of acquired
in-process research and development related to the acquisition of Symbios, Inc.,
restructuring charges and other special items primarily consisting of the
impairment of stock investments, write-offs of assets not relating to
restructuring, litigation settlement costs and an unplanned gain on sale of
equity securities.

In the third quarter of 1999, the Company adopted a program of regular selling
of marketable equity securities. Recurring investment income reflects the gain
from sale of the Company's marketable equity securities that was planned as part
of the program during the periods presented. Unplanned gains are excluded from
the determination of earnings before goodwill.

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. In computing diluted earnings per
share for the three month period and for the year ended December 31, 1999, net
income was increased by $2,749 and $8,584 for interest (net of taxes),
respectively, on the convertible debentures considered dilutive common stock
equivalents.

* For the year ended December 31, 1998, the difference between diluted shares
  for purposes of computing diluted earnings per share and pro forma earnings
  per share relates to common equivalents of 1,043 shares, which were excluded
  from calculation of diluted earnings per share for reported results because of
  their antidilutive effect. These common equivalents impacted diluted earnings
  per share for the period by $0.01 which is included in the line item for
  amortization of goodwill and special items in the calculation of diluted
  earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 1998.

  In computing diluted earnings per share for the three month period and for the
  year ended December 31, 1999, net income was increased by $2,749 and $8,584
  for interest (net of taxes), respectively, on the convertible debentures
  considered dilutive common stock equivalents.
