Back 20 years ago Intel used to have pipelines of comparable depth
(IIRC, ~35 cycles in the 3rd and 4th generations of Pentium 4). But
despite that, latency of simple ALU ops was 1 clock. Latency of L1D hit
was 4 clocks, long for 2005, but standard today. Latencies of FMUL
and FADD were 7 and 5 clocks, respectively - long, but not
extraordinary.

IBM's own POWER6 18 years ago had integer pipeline close to 30 stages
and FP pipeline of around 35 stages. However FP MUL/ADD/FMA latency
was 6 or 7 clocks.

I would expect similar or shorter latency figures for BFP on modern IBM
z. Likely shorter, because today they have far more silicon to through
on various bypasses.
Now, in case of DFP I don't want to guess, because I have no base for
guessing.
