None of the 3 do 4Kp60 so it really depends on what you need/want the box to do
Is this statement still valid when DP to HDMI 2.0 adapters arrive? (Assuming they do.)
TBD. I'd bet no for Haswell and Braswell, and maybe but unlikely for Broadwell. Current DP->HDMI adapters don't actually convert the signal, they put the DP port into HDMI signaling mode. The DP->HDMI2.0 adapters will likely need to do an active conversion, since none of the 3 support HDMI2.0 natively, but I haven't seen enough details on any announced products to draw a solid conclusion
