What is the name of the neural processor inside the Terminator in the 1984 film The Terminator?

The Terminator’s internal computer is described as a neural net processor. The phrase appears in the 1984 film’s explanation of how the machine learns and processes information.

The machine’s endoskeleton is built for combat, but its processor gives it more than simple preprogrammed behavior. In the film, Sarah Connor and Kyle Reese learn that the Terminator can use its systems to interpret its surroundings and pursue its mission.

The wording is sometimes confused with Skynet, but the two are different. Skynet is the artificial intelligence associated with the future war, while a neural net processor is the computing system inside the individual Terminator. Later films expand the terminology and capabilities of Terminator machines, but the original film establishes this phrase.
