Will the 5G core network technology offer lower latencies?

Reading about 5g and its many promises, I ponder on the sub-ms latency aspect. This is the latency to the nearest cell tower, obviously. But if they change the core infrastructure as well (which they seem to be planning to do) and possibly make it wireless, it may allow avoiding some of the routing congestion, simply because the increased connectedness between the nodes will enable improvements in the distribution of routing workload.
Does anyone have any idea if the delays of the core traffic will drop significantly with 5G once it gets widely deployed (to the limiting point of 3.3 microsec per kilometer radio speed of course)? This is a bit off-topic, I know, but it may have impact on the architecture choices for OSes (and the significance of the cloud as an alternative).
