Do any Intel CPUs support configurable TDP like AMD's Kaveri chips? Cpuz is saying my cpu does but I didn't think it did.
 
As long as the bios does not lock the turbo power limits register, most of Intel's 2nd Generation and up CPUs support configurable TDP. You just need the appropriate software such as ThrottleStop. Here is an example of my Core i7-4700MQ. Unfortunately, Lenovo set the lock bit in the bios so the limits cannot be changed.

Edit - Just remembered. Intel's first Generation Core i CPUs also support configurable TDP but the early CPUs use different registers in the CPU to control the power limits compared to the 2nd Generation and up.
