- CNBC Marathon explores various tech companies manufacturing chips on U.S. soil.
Micron, Samsung and SK Hynix are responsible for making 90% of the world’s DRAM memory chips, and Micron is the only one based in the U.S. That’s made it the latest target of bans from China. Yet Micron is spending $115 billion to build the biggest chip project in U.S. history. CNBC visited Micron in Idaho and talked to Gov. Kathy Hochul in New York to hear about the new fabs. We also asked Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer about Micron ahead of his meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping.
Arm beat expectations in its first post-IPO earnings report in November 2023. Its low-power chip architecture is in nearly every smartphone, replaced Intel’s x86 processors in Apple’s Mac computers, and is the basis for Qualcomm’s PC processors, and Amazon’s data center chips.

- The U.S. faces a growing demand for skilled workers, particularly in STEM fields with a need for 1 million more STEM workers by 2033. The H-1B visa program, created in 1990, helps fill this gap by allowing businesses to temporarily hire foreign workers in specialized fields, with 85,000 visas available annually.

Meanwhile, Americans are buying more products with additives. A study found that 59.5% of foods purchased by U.S. households contained some sort of additive—an increase of nearly 20% since 2001.

- Silicon Valley is now reckoning with a technique in AI development that could upend the leaderboard. Distillation is the idea that a small team with virtually no resources can make an advanced AI model by extracting knowledge from a larger one. While the Chinese AI startup DeepSeek didn’t invent the method, its use of the technique roiled the stock market and woke the AI world up to its disruptive potential. Distillation is now enabling less-capitalized startups and research labs to compete at the cutting edge faster than ever before. DeepSeek’s breakthroughs also ushered in the rise of a new open-source order, based on a belief that transparency and accessibility drive innovation faster than closed-door research. That combination -- distillation’s newfound traction and open-source’s rise in popularity -- is deadly for the competitive edges that the biggest AI players had.

- Foot traffic to suburban shopping malls has returned to pre-pandemic levels and high-end malls are thriving. Yelp found that 17 out of the top 25 brands driving consumers to malls are restaurants, and the dining options for visitors have moved well beyond the traditional food court that would include chains like McDonald's, Chipotle and Panda Express. CNBC visited the American Dream Mall in New Jersey to see how dining has evolved at the mall: https://youtu.be/-lBjt8W0GQk

- Description
- Americans drive much more than in any other country – twice as much as the average German, for example. And the actual experience of driving isn’t quite as romantic as the image. Drivers are often stuck in traffic. Cars pump out pollution. Less walking means less exercise. Cars also can kill people. Some skeptics say, indeed–cars are awesome. But they got a lot of help from favorable policies and strong lobbies. CNBC spoke with some researchers and looked at numbers to get the full picture of why Americans became so dependent on cars.

- Description
- CNBC Marathon goes to explore the biggest tech companies that are designing chips on U.S. soil.
Thirty years ago, Taiwan immigrant Jensen Huang founded Nvidia with the dream of revolutionizing PCs and gaming with 3D graphics. In 1999, after laying off the majority of workers and nearly going bankrupt, the company succeeded when it launched what it claims as the world’s first Graphics Processing Unit (GPU). Then Jensen bet the company on something entirely different: AI. Now, that bet is paying off in a big way as Nvidia’s A100 chips quickly become the coveted training engines for ChatGPT and other generative AI. But as the chip shortage eases, other chip giants like Intel are struggling. And with all it’s chips made by TSMC in Taiwan, Nvidia remains vulnerable to mounting U.S.-China trade tensions. We went to Nvidia’s Silicon Valley, California, headquarters to talk with Huang and get a behind-the scenes-look at the chips powering gaming and the AI boom.

- Description
- Twenty years ago Hurricane Katrina flooded hundreds of thousands of homes in New Orleans and killed over 1,800 people. In the aftermath, a quarter of the city's housing stock was left vacant or abandoned. The U.S. government has spent billions to rebuild homes, restore infrastructure, and fortify the levee system. But more may be needed to counteract the city’s slow decline into the sea. On top of that, parts of the federal response have been criticized for their complexity and impact on low-income homeowners. Today, the city is facing a housing crisis as homeowner insurance premiums and property taxes rise.

- Description
- CNBC Marathon examines causes of poverty in the U.S., including rising credit card debt and lifestyle creep.
37.9 million Americans are currently living in poverty, accounting for 11.6% of the total population. That’s despite the fact that America ranks first as the richest nation in the world in terms of GDP. Child poverty alone is estimated to cost the U.S. over $1 trillion based on the latest research.
More than half of Americans earning more than $100,000 a year say they’re living paycheck to paycheck, according to a report from PYMNTS and LendingClub. This may be a result of a sneaky behavioral phenomenon called lifestyle creep, which is when a person’s spending habits expand as their income rises. Almost half of Americans said they held a balance on their credit card because of an emergency expense, according to a September 2022 CreditCards.com survey.
Americans have accumulated a record-breaking $1 trillion in credit card debt. Despit...

- Description
- Fast-moving wildfires have wreaked havoc across Los Angeles in recent weeks. Following the outbreak of the Hughes fire, the structural toll of the January wildfires now exceeds 16,000. Early estimates place the economic toll of the fires between $250 billion and $275 billion. Now, property insurers in the state are facing a historic payout, an estimated $40 billion.
Several major property insurance companies, including the state's largest insurer, State Farm, announced pullbacks in coverage in recent years. Some have restricted underwriting in high-risk ZIP codes, others have pulled out of the state all together. Homeowners who have lost their home insurance are largely turning to what is called the 'insurer of last resort', the California FAIR Plan.

- Description
- The launch of President Trump's meme token was met with mixed reactions among the crypto community. On one hand, Trump allied with crypto backers on the campaign trail, promising to cut back on legal challenges brought against crypto businesses and promote innovation in the United States. His launch of a meme coin was a sign he still cared about crypto. On the other hand, the crypto community just recovered from the implosion of 2022, including the collapse of the centralized exchange FTX. Since then, there have been major developments in mainstream adoption, like the launch of spot bitcoin ETFs in U.S. markets. Trump's new cryptocurrency sparked fears it could stall the recovery of crypto’s image, and concerns about how the president might get richer as investors poured into Trump’s coin.

- Think about the apps you use on your phone every day. Now imagine if you could combine all of those programs into a single, standalone app. A one-stop shop to socialize with friends, order food, pay rent, or even consult with a doctor — known as the “super app.”
Perhaps the most prominent example of the super app is Tencent’s WeChat. While super apps have flourished in Asia, their adoption in Western markets, including the U.S., has been slower due to a variety of reasons. Find out why: https://youtu.be/LryZ79zHUgs

- U.S. companies are frontloading cargo bound for the U.S. due to the uncertainty regarding tariffs. Walmart, Columbia Sportswear and Lenovo have been actively stockpiling goods, according to U.S. Customs data. But not all shippers can afford to. Footwear company Deer Stags said its $50 shoes will go up to $75 if tariffs are increased. Higher tariffs could also have a big impact on Mexico trade. Mexico was the largest exporter of goods to the U.S. in 2024, ahead of China, accounting for $466 billion in imports. CNBC’s Lori Ann Larocco travels to Fort Worth, Texas to visit an ITS Logistics warehouse piled with goods that have been stockpiled there, and explores what the tariffs mean for U.S. consumer prices.

- As thousands of homes started to burn across Los Angeles on January 7th, 20% of hydrants in the Pacific Palisades ran dry. The rapid spread of flames in 100 mph winds meant firefighters used water too quickly for pumps to maintain water pressure. Big questions and misinformation have now surfaced, from a 117-million-gallon reservoir emptied a year ago, to the protection of a small endangered fish that did not impact water supply.

- Bluesky got an influx of new users following the U.S. election, largely from individuals looking to flee X. The social medial platform now has over 28 million users.
Bluesky is the brainchild of Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey, who conceived it as a side project inside Twitter in 2019. Bluesky, which is no longer affiliated with Dorsey, is now its own company, but whether it can continue its rapid growth and compete with the likes of Elon Musk’s X and Mark Zuckerberg’s Threads remains to be seen.
