iMac mid-2015 5K Retina - DDR4 RAM compatible?

After looking at the tech specs for the new iMac's released today, I was wondering if DDR4 RAM can be used in the 27" 5K iMac since that one has Intel's new Skylake processor.

iMac with Retina 5K display, OS X El Capitan (10.11)

Here are the specs for the RAM for the new iMac:

8GB (two 4GB) of 1867MHz DDR3 memory; four SO-DIMM slots, user accessible

Configurable to 16GB or 32GB

From here:

It uses DDR3 RAM.
