Does M4 Max have 64-byte cache lines?

If they can fetch or flush an entire cache line in a single memory-bus transaction, I wonder if that opens up any additional hardware / performance optimizations.

A single memory transaction is almost always a 16n burst for LPDDR5x.

on the CPU side: 64 bytes at L1, 128 byte cachelines at L2
