This is very interesting. I just have one minor nitpick. Broadcom did not buy Avago, Avago bought Broadcom. They then changed their name to broadcom as it was more recognizable in the industry (while keeping their old stock ticker AVGO as that was more recognizable in the financial industry).
This is entirely a tangent but the rise of Avago from a minor second rate spin off from a spinoff from HP to one of the biggest and most profitable companies of the world (and one that is many times the size of current HP), is one of the most unusual mostly untold stories of the modern business world. It is a story of success (by Avago and Broadcom engineers and management) and incredible incompetence (by hp management that let them go for a pittance).
