Didn't they build the architecture and then chuck it?

Yes, called Seattle, in their codenames.
For a little while there was one partner who used it for Gluster ( or similar ) storage nodes.
It fit into the model of Arm processors that were performant enough to be the glue between hard disks or flash and a reasonably fast network. But after the PCI lanes were all dispatched there wasn't a lot of compute for applications on top.

I think they grafted 4 and 8 cortex a57 in to a package and it didn’t seem to have much market interest.
I too have heard that they have their own ARM micro architecture project though
