What are the best processors to overclock?

Here is the list of processors that have the most potential for overclocking. We have for each of them taken the top 25 results on Geekbench 4 after removing the extreme performances that may involve the use of liquid nitrogen or other methods not available to common mortals. We only selected the tests done on Windows.
