On AMD, it's a utility you run. I believe you may require a reboot to apply it. On some Intel platforms, it's been settings in the BIOS.

This is what the processor is doing internally anyways. It throttles voltage and frequency and gates cores based on demanded usage. Changing the TDP doesn't change the performance under a light-to-moderate workload scenario at all.
Ryzen Master lets you change some of the tuning for the choices it makes about when and how aggressively to boost, though, too.
