If bitcoin had 4gb blocks it would also manage 1 million transactions per second. The issue with this is some miners are not able to download 4gb blocks fast enough and the next block might arrive before they have the current one downloaded and validated. Though with technologies such as xthinner and graphene you can use bloom filters to reduce the amount of data which is propagated, with up 98+% compression. That would mean that blocks only require around 80mb to be propagated between miners.
