From this [0] it suggests the xilnx floating point core can run at >600Mhz,and the latency of many operations is just a few cycles. Also a s its pipelined the throughput could mean one result per clock, depending on how you configure the core. Seems closer to the 5x to me.

That chart doesn't show you the result latency, only the maximum achievable frequency. You have to use Vivado to instantiate an instance with the specific suite of configurable options. When you do that, it will inform you of the result latency: 27-30 cycles for FMA.
