On EVGA's link, it says there are 4 CUDA cores. However, in NVIDIA's CUDA-enabled graphics card table, it's not supported. If CUDA is not supported on this card, why did EVGA list the CUDA cores in the specifications?

    It is an error in the page.  Before the 8 series, there were separate pixel and vertex shaders instead of the unified shader architecture that uses CUDA.  Any card that is before the 8 series will not support CUDA, and several of the low end ones cannot properly run many CUDA apps, such as cards with less than 16 CUDA cores.

    Marketing error, more likely. 
     
    The generic term is "parallel processor" in which AMD, nVidia and Intel have created their own copywritten names for their versions.  Their aren't architecturally alike despite functioning the same, but in nVidia's case, they recently (since the 200 series) changed all their internal GPU processor names to CUDA cores to exemplify the CUDA capability, hence errors like this towards pre-CUDA technology.

    For Intel processors, 0.122 x TDP = Continuous Amps at 12v [source].
