It's actually 16 CCDs with a single core and 32MB each.

Hmm. Ok, instead of treating the cache as ram, we will have to treat each CCD as a node, and treat the chip as a cluster. It will be hard, but you can fit quite a bit in 64MB.
9684x is 1152 MB cache per socket, 12 CCDs * 96MB. A similar X series zen5 is planned.
Though I wish they did some chips with 128GB of high bandwidth dram instead of a extra sized sram caches.
Zen 4 also had 96 MB per CCD variants like the 9184X, so 768 MB per, and they are dual socket so you can end up with a 1.5 GB of total L3 cache single machine! The downside being now beyond CCD<->CCD latencies you have socket<->socket latencies.
