DRAM latency is tens of clock cycles. There's a minimum of about 10ns of latency happening within the DRAM chip itself, so a slightly longer bus doesn't affect total latency by much.

Wikipedia is showing a cycle time for CAS of less than 1ns for modern RAM

The figures under 1ns are not latency numbers but merely the duration of a clock cycle.
