Kind of. If you look at the specs of the tensor chips they appear to essentially copy exactly what Qualcomm is doing. They use off the shelf ARM reference design cores packaged together the same way QC does. They’re also about a year behind QCs latest stuff. In comparison Apple (and the very very latest QC chipsets) use custom ARM cores. Google has yet to do this.
