The only Qualcomm designed 64-bit mobile core so far was the Kyro core in the 820. They then assigned that team to server chips (Centriq) then sacked the whole team when they felt they needed to cut cash flow to stave off Avago/Broadcom. The "Kyro" cores from 835 on are rebadged/adjusted ARM cores.
IMO the Kyro/820 wasn't a major failure, it turned out a lot better than the 810 which had A53/A57 cores.
And then they decided they needed a mobile CPU team again and bought Nuvia for ~US$1 Billion.
