It does not matter where the Tegra 4 draws power from, it's computational limits are dictated by power dissipation (correct me, DangFool, if needed) and the overall clock speed that the other components like the DRAM can run at (their switching speed has limits due to trench capacitor discharge/charge rates plus they have heat dissipation limits). Plus increased temps lead to electromigration and premature failure (much lower MTBF).

Tegra 4 is not powerful enough to handle the computational load of h.265 at the rate needed to stream complex image or motion video in 4K. Even the 4x more powerful K1 can't do that.

Too many cycles to decode those highly compressed data streams.

Just a fact. Read the reviews - I posted one link on here a week ago or so of the K1's limits in this area and the even worse (1/3.75 as powerful) Tegra 4.
