Ironically, Avago is the smaller of the two companies at about $4.3 billion in revenues in its last fiscal year, making it the 14th largest semiconductor company in the rankings of IC Insights. By comparison, Broadcom reported $8.4 billion in revenue in its last fiscal year and is ranked the ninth largest chip company.
