Which (Intel?) graphics chipset are integrated in barebone AsRock BeeBox machines?

0

I spent hours to find out googling which Intel? graphics chipset are in BeeBox machines, with no success, especially in AsRock BeeBox J4205 Neither the official site neither Amazon or other shops do not even mention the graphics chipset in the specification.

The only thing I can see that one of the two HDMI output supports 4K/60Hz.

(I would like to have a home theater PC with Windowzer and KODI and smooth I mean smooooth playback, not using 4K just simple Full HD is enough)

Missing I something? Why the graphics chipset do not even mentioned in the spec when the product is probably positioned as an entry level HTPC?

You can't find the graphics chipset because there isn't one. The graphics processor is integrated into the central processor and what you have depends 100% on the CPU. You can find out what the CPU has from the Intel product specification pages.

They don't tell you the chipset explicitly because it is implicit in the CPU choice.

According to your page you either have

  1. Intel® Pentium® Processor J4205
    • Intel® HD Graphics 505
  2. Intel® Celeron® Processor J3455
    • Intel® HD Graphics 500

Many thanks. Is makes sense, and I did know I was missing something fundamental. As I see those are supporting H.265. However I can not found video playback oriented benchmark comparisons, just gaming oriented, where this chipset performs poor (relative). Is there any benchmark source where I can see its pure video playback full hd 1080 performance? – g.pickardou – 2019-12-04T12:46:55.350

The video acceleration side tends to be a dedicated hardware block with fixed performance across the range. You might be able to find something specific at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_Graphics_Technology#Capabilities_(GPU_video_acceleration)
