ELI5: What the difference is between a normal CPU (e.g. Intel i5/i7)and a server/workstation CPU (Xeon series)

Just looking at computer parts, and some benchmarks for CPUs and saw that some Xeons top that list. But why would I not want one for my gaming PC? What's the difference?

Gaming PCs desire a CPU which can run very few tasks at a very high speed. This means they want a high clock speed and a relatively small cache.

Servers on the other hand desire a CPU which is very stable and can handle many different tasks at a reasonable speed. This means they want a relatively large cache and are willing to sacrifice clock speed.

They are just oriented toward different applications and while both would work for either use, it makes sense to use the best tool for the given task.
