Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles Wiki

"Really? I dunno. First off, Vick (who was a T-888) lived with a woman for months if not years, and convinced her he was human. He even performed his husbandly duties, all while manipulating her emotionally to continue her work. By contrast, Cameron is extremely dense at times, unless she's in her "Allison" persona.

As for being able to defeat the T-888's? Cameron seems capable of throwing them around just like they would her. Obviously a T-888 / T-0K match could come down to a "Mike Tyson Punchout" slugfest, but cameron's killed probably a dozen T-888's by now.

So yeah, empty room with a T-888, she could very well lose. But there always seems to be a shotgun, power conduit, or elevator conveniently nearby.

As for the T-X, if we get into further seasons, we may well see one, or something like one. Slightly off-topic, I hope they have the budget to give the inevitable Cameron-Catherine Weaver fight justice.

"You are thinking about single CPUs but Moore's Law has forced chip manufacturers to head in the direction of multiple CPUs (I am typing this note on a quad-core but next month Intel is supposed to be releasing a hex-core. I have seen photos of an experimental Intel chip with 80 cores).

CPU Comment: The Myles Dyson prototype appears to be a matrix of 30 CPUs constructed on two planes.

Once miniaturized and placed inside a terminators head, the chip appears to be a small single carrier chip (board?) with 15 CPU chips on each side.

OK so maybe one of those cores is only running a watch-dog program that can shut down the system if anything goes wrong. Also, the watchdog doesn't need to be part of any learning system. You just program in the 3-laws (moral imperatives) into a write-once memory at the factory. For anyone who has done any board-level designs (like me), remember that watchdog hardware can be mounted beside the CPU and can do hard resets of the CPU when certain rules are not followed)
