Via the Polymath effort (circa 2014, built upon Yhang effort), we know some n<246 exists where there is an infinite count of primes of gap n.
We also know the jumping champions essentially are 4 and the primorials.
This implies n comes from the small set of {2,4,6,30,210}. If it turns out to be 2 (or 246 can be narrowed to <3), the Twin Prime conjecture is resolved.
There are a host of OEIS entries for where both p & p+c are prime, where c= 2,6,30,210....
Here is quick PariGP code I wrote that identifies the candidate jumping champions: primeGapSearch_faster.gp
Realize my limited computational capability (laptop, 16Gb ram). Note that the script makes no use of the primorials, rather they fall out from the search.
Here are partial results after ~ 2 days of running:
