Okay, I'll bite.
What has GEoM got? I vaguely recall business about supernova-level energies being tossed around between him and Horus from one of the books, long ago, but have no idea if that's hyperbole or SMvsFL.
Why are we here?

IIRC he has big psychic power but I don't know how defined it is in current canon. Stuff like doing intergalactic communication, maybe even holding together psychic gateways/trails in space?
None of this matters though, if Thanos can blitz him. But I think the board has also revised the stance that he's a lightspeed guy since I've been most active? So idk how fast he is actually now

Thanos isn't some superspeed dude anymore, hereabouts.

But several power-ups ago the guy was effortlessly beating the snot out of a guy who nonchalantly chills in black holes (who admittedly forgot his speed differential), while utterly ignoring said person’s best, way-above-planet-busting, shots.
And since then he’s somehow kept going despite Odin going ballistic in his face.
GEoM has got to be bringing some serious oomph here.

The Emperor probably doesn't have the strength to take Thanos directly. As I recall, there was one time where the Emperor had to be saved during the Great Crusade by Horus from an Ork. Granted it was a crazy big Ork, but still probably way less than Thanos is used to punting without effort. OTOH, the Emperor has ridiculous reality warping powers.

in terms of Psychic powers The Emperor has galactic range telepathy and has mentally dominated 100,000 people at once.
Sounds like Xavier kind of Telepathy. Moondragon at max.
Not really enough.

emps might be able to hurt thanos but not enough to kill him. best direct combat feat i can recall is his last attack against FUCKIN' horus, where it was so damn strong, even the chaos gods who were directly juicing him fled back to the warp temporarily.
i'd have to looking around for any other physical/psychic feats but i highly doubt he has anything to really change the outcome of this one.
