Does anyone know if the 35 watt Core i3 4150T can drive a 4K display at 60 Hz via display port 1.2 over a single stream?

According to the info I quoted below (and other info in the following link) the Core display clock needs to be at 540 MHz to drive 4K at 60 Hz:

https://communities.intel.com/thread/51410?start=0&tstart=0

The main requirement for supporting 4K@60 on DP SST (single-stream transport) is that the core display clock (CDCLK), which is configured by SBIOS, must be set high enough to drive the dot clock required by the mode. Usually 4K@60 has a 536MHz dot clock, so it requires a 540MHz CDCLK. If the system OEM did not configure the CDCLK at 540MHz for thermal, power saving, or other reasons, then the system will not be able to drive 4K@60 over a single DP stream. Also, Haswell ULT (-U) and ULX (-Y) are limited to 450MHz and 337MHz CDCLK, so they will not be able to do 4K@60 SST. ULT should still be able to do 4K@60 MST, though. ULX can’t because 4K MST still requires HBR2.

This shouldn’t affect DP MST tiled displays because for those we use two streams, each for one half of the display, reducing the pixel clock.

Additionally, 4K support is only available on the Core processor graphics. Celeron and Pentium do not support 4K. All Core Haswell processors will support HBR2 with the exception of Haswell ULX.

Does Core i3-4150T have a stock core display clock of at least 540 Mhz?

It can as far as I know. Also in MST mode everything can. The only issue is using SST.

The post you link explains it as well. All desktop models supports it. If there is any limitation its the mobo, not the CPU.
