 Um... so far as I understand it, support for the features of Xeon CPUs would be
in the Linux kernel, including multi-core and hyperthreading and all that jazz.
And since Open SUSE doesn't (so far as I understand it) limit the number of CPUs
or cores it'll run on - there'd be no point with an open-source kernel - it should
"just work" unless you have some *really* weird and nonstandard motherboard, with
more than 32 cores or something.

 Sincerely,
