I agree with the question though maybe not the assumption that goes with it.

I imagine professional workstations for industries such as software development, visual arts, industrial design, film production, music production etc. are large users of high end CPUs.

None of them uses overclocked CPUs (like Intel's K-series) that's fairly standard for high-end gaming
