The concentration disclosure of one customer at \u003cstrong\u003e20%\u003c\/strong\u003e of net revenue shows how much a small number of very large buyers can matter.

The segment still maps to the disclosed \u003cstrong\u003e$28.2 billion\u003c\/strong\u003e semiconductor solutions revenue in fiscal 2023. For academic use, this segment is important because operator demand tends to be tied to network upgrades, device cycles, and large procurement contracts, which can create order concentration even when the end market is broad.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eOEMs and device makers\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBroadcom's disclosure that one customer accounted for \u003cstrong\u003e20%\u003c\/strong\u003e of net revenue in fiscal 2023 is the clearest sign that OEM and device-maker relationships are material. That level of concentration means one platform buyer can shape revenue, pricing power, and supply planning. It also shows why Broadcom's customer base is not spread evenly across thousands of small buyers; it depends on large-volume commercial accounts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePrivate cloud customers\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrivate cloud customers are most closely tied to VMware.
