Workstations are not the target for Xeon, servers are, Intel have the i9 series for the high-end desktop computer (HEDT) market.

It is much easier to buy an Intel CPU with a GPU because you can buy pretty much any Intel CPU and it will have an integrated GPU. Especially if you buy their main one that sells the most. You also know that Intel's GPU drivers are rock solid on Linux and well supported. Support available even before the hardware released, not unlike AMD where you buy the hardware and can't use it, or must wait until distributions make a new release. With Intel you're going to have support for OpenGL, OpenGL ES, OpenCL and Vulkan, all open source.
I think AMD don't even use their latest GPU tech on their CPUs, its like a prior generation, and its only available on select models that carry the G-prefix, not on the normal mainstream CPUs.

Their latest high-end ones - such as they are - are solid for gaming at 1080P for older titles, though their design and tech is simply outdated at this point. Their upcoming ones incorporate all of AMD's latest CPU and GPU tech and should be far better, when paired with the high-capacity fast RAM used on gaming builds and the latest SSDs that can tie directly into the CPU.

As far as I know, AMD does not have any good CPUs with integrated graphics. I might be wrong though.
But all or most Intel CPUs have integrated graphics, like if you go for an Intel model with the K-suffix which is very popular and seem to be what most people do, it has an integrated GPU.
