"Workstation" is a pretty vague term that has shifted over the years, but anyone who's using it as a distinct category from mainstream desktop computers will have at least something in mind that a workstation would be better at than a regular desktop computer. Web browsing, simple office apps and games definitely don't put you in workstation territory. Krita can be used in a workstation/professional context, but I don't think the choice of CPU is relevant there—GPU, monitor and digitizer are what a professional user of Krita is more likely to care about.
