It kinda seems like the writers (writer?) either consulted with or did the math and calculated where pretty powerful computers would be by now, and that the t800 was more of a mid tier model and that there were higher tier models (or ai’s that ran in data centers) that individually ran on 4090 power and above
It's a made up number that's supposed to sound fancy. It is for people who don't know much about computers. It's probably just there because people have heard the prefix 'tera', but wouldn't know what 'exa' or any other prefix means.
It doesn't mean anything. Documentation made by people having more pages than a CPU which was also made by people is interesting because these are real things made for specific purposes, not a number pulled out of thin air for fiction.
There is nothing 'mind blowing' about an uninformed person just being wrong. Is it 'mind blowing' that the original terminator was supposed to run on a 6502?
In Johnny Mnemonic 320 GB was supposed to be a lot of data in 2021 when it costs the same as lunch for two people.
