How well does Manjaro Linux make use of the latest multi-core, multi-thread processors from Intel? This one has 14 cores and 20 total threads: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/sku/241947/intel-core-9-processor-270h-24m-cache-up-to-5-80-ghz/specifications.html
My needs are simple, but just curious about this topic. Same question about the fancy nvidia GPUs.
Thanks.
The number of supported cores and threads is the same as what any upstream kernel would support. 
The cores - probably the sky is the limit. Linux is born out of a server OS so multitasking und threading is not a problem. If there are some new instructions however - it is a matter of firmware and support in the kernel. Given that probably about 30% of the linux kernel source nowadays is contributed from BIG CORP (Alpha, Beta, Meta and co.) which need performance for their server farms to power the ASB (Artificial-Stupidity-Baloon) there will probably never be any problem with newer cpus in linux. Still, i would wait if it is some kind of embedded system on a chip, because sometimes there are delays in the drivers/firmware for some of the subsystems, like wifi. But for desktops i would not worry.
Nvidia…just do not buy it. They hate linux or at least do not care, and you will suffer. Just look at the number of support topics about their stupid drivers.
I have a Core 7 Ultra 155H and it has been working flawlessly on my computer since I installed Manjaro (kernel version 6.12).
Thank you.
Thank you.
