Rune King Thor wins. This is another situation that one guy is beyond the physical laws of the immediate universe perhaps even reality, which includes all things physical in the multiverse. While on the other hand the other guy has power. What is all of that power going to do to a guy outside of the laws by which that power exists? What? Is Thanos going to kill the dead? How would that work out exactly?

Thanos knows the gems inside out (that's why the trick Warlock used to get the Gauntlet away from Nebula wouldn't work vs Thanos). Thanos with the Power Gem is abstract level. RKT was Elder God level.

Just from what he displayed in his fight against the heroes, there's nothing there RKT couldn't have done.
Remember when Strange, with all his artifacts, was facing off against Warlock with the IG? He was countering the Gems, effect for effect till he got to the Power Gem. Then he knew he was about to be obliterated.
The Power Gem >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> all the other gems. It's what amps them to universal+ levels. Thanos knows the gems inside out. Thanos with the Power Gem is abstract level (minimum).

Agreed. Context is a real thing, which seems to have been sidestepped in favor of Universal+ power. Rune King reached omniscient levels, so how again would Thanos be smarter than this version of Thor with just the power gem? Again, there isn't one thing that Thanos could do to a guy that is beyond death. What's he going to do, kill him? On the flip side, Thanos may likely be able to weather anything that Rune King dished due to the power gem's ability to amplify his defenses to unknown levels. One thing is certain though. Thanos would have no physical effect on this version of Thor. This is something that's been left out in favor of Thanos being overall more powerful, which isn't true. Even with the power gem, Thanos would have to resist being torn apart by never before seen magics.
Thanos may win if he had the entire gauntlet though. Power gem alone? Not very likely.
