Oh Renesas are ex-Hitachi; well that explains a lot how such a unfamiliar name is one of the top chip companies. Reminds me of the convoluted pattern where Motorola split into Freescale who were acquired by NXP who in turn are ex-Philips. Occasionally I feel the need for some sort of chart of the semi industry to keep track who is who.

Fun fact: Broadcom is now actually a former HP spin-off spin- off (HP->Agilent->Avago), but is now worth more than Hewlett Packard Enterprise, HP Inc, Agilent and Keysight combined.

  > Broadcom is now actually a former HP spin-off spin- off (HP->Agilent->Avago) Um... Not Strictly true. Broadcom is; Broadcom. Avago purchased Broadcom, and uses its name, but traded using AVGO ( I could never understand why ).
