Penryn May 1, 2007

Posted by Andy Roberts in : Flickr, UK , trackback

I remember Penryn mainly for the scond hand car auctions, relatively cheap housing for Cornwall, rough pubs and traffic hold ups on the way in to Falmouth. And the fish and chip shop I suppose.

Herring gull

Now those associations with the word are about to be wiped out and replaced by the result of marketing for cutting edge technology as Intel has chosen to name their latest chipset after one of Penryn’s namesakes.
Not Penrhyndeudraeth the networked village through which runs the charming FFestiniog railway either, but some town 12 miles away from Folsom in California, where the Intel designers are based.
