When you say workstation, do you mean a multipurpose personal computer?
Yes. But this depends of WHAT you will do with it.
If I built a do anything computer it COSTS! Many cores (16 to 64), tons of memory like 128GB fast single thread performance, expensive 3090 graphics card with good calculation capability and large fast drives. You dont get change from 5K. I built that! So it can run and do anything. Fast.
If I built a gaming computer it needs fast frequency 4 to 6 core CPU, maybe 16GB memory, and an expensive graphics card - depends on resolution. A 4K screen/game needs a 3090. A lower resolution like 1080p needs 1/4 the power... So a 3060, at 1/4 the cost. And it needs a small cheap boot NVMe drive and a 2GB SSD for games storage.
If I built a workstation, for say Office, or surfing, etc almost anything at all less than 10 years old, and 8GB RAM any half decent old CPU and an SSD will be fine. Anything else is a waste of money. Non of this akes muh to run.
If I had specific needs I would vary this depending.
A server doesent need expensive graphics cards, it needs multi core CPU, lots of RAM, lots of storage, fast connectivity etc.
