In my circles the term "core" survived for quite a long time after the introduction of the first 370 models with non magnetic-core storage (the 158 and 168, followed closely by the lower end 138, 148 and so on). And amusingly the UNIX people still use "core" in some contexts, much as they use "print" in a way long dissociated from ink on paper.
I still here some programmers say their failing program branched to, or attempted to store into, "low core." ;-)
