I think the distinction between consumer PCs and 'workstations for scientific or technical use' has slowly blurred over time as consumer hardware has become more powerful and closer in parity to professional hardware. One clear example of this, I think, is 'gaming PCs' which can be just as capable if not more capable than the traditionally labeled 'workstation' categories. Ultimately, these market segment nomenclatures are more about market targeting than they are about raw specifications.
