No, all the caches are inside the chip. z196 processor are not like x86 ones. They are built inside something called MCM (multi chip module). MCM are about the size of a 1.44MB floopy disk (for those who know what a floppy is), and contais some chips: processor, clock generator, caches, and some chips used to perform storage access. So, even if the cache is off-chip, it is 1-2 inches away from the processor.
