I haven't researched and don't know how the courts would respond to the fact that ATI has been acquired after the alleged collusion occurred. Unless there is evidence that AMD and nVidia explicitly agreed to continue the illegal pricing regime, there is no evidence of ongoing behavior which requires a remedy. The financial beneficiaries of the behavior would be the shareholders of ATI, not the shareholders of AMD prior or post the merger) I assume that AMD remains liable for civil and criminal(unlikely) damages but again these would be hard to calculate and diffuse except for OEMs who presumably want to maintain a working relationship with AMD. You don't get off the hook for past crimes simply by being acquired.
