It is a glorified RDP hardware.
And 2 x 4K doesn't need THAT much. You can have good 1080p quality with 10 Mbit/s. 4K is 4 times the number of pixels of 1080p, so AT MOST it would need 40 MBit/s. I say at most, because video streming will be (of course) done using compression (probably AV1) and if the video is not very "busy" in the amount of small details, then the extra pixels won't add much when compressed.
So 2x4K would be 80 Mbit/s. Let's round it to 100 Mbit/s and have them at 60 FPS. And no, doubling the framerate doesn't double the size, again, because of compression.
Of course, if you have more, it will be better. But I wouldn't be surprised if it would actually be totally fine with 100 MBit/s. Because normal applications have a lot of spaces that are basic and simple. Like margins on a website or on a Word document, that gets compressed very easily. Or the background color of the Excel cells, those are easy to compress too, and also don't move much, so you might get it to look artifact-y only when you scroll, but look crystal clear when you're just typing stuff and 95% of the screen is static. The taskbar of the OS and the menu/top of the app(s) are also very static, so in reality it's like you have fewer number of pixels.
