Cornish nasty

Back in Cornwall, where Intel’s use of Penryn for a chipset name has alarmed the local businesses, we encounter jealousy from nearby Plymouth.
‘I always thought that Penryn was just a host for Falmouth’s job centre, but apparently there are some businesses there,’ says Kerry Hoskin at Plymouth Marine Laboratory, alerting us to the concerns expressed on local web site This Is Cornwall that the town would slip down the Google rankings as surfers get directed to the new range of Intel computer processors instead of Penryn the town.
‘And as any good Cornishman will tell you, Cornwall is not a county of England, it is a country near England,’ says Kerry.
If anyone has a description of the Plymouth chipset, we’d like to hear it.
