Statutes of limitations are in force for various crimes, some as short as 1 year, others longer than 7 (and many in between). The limitation for extortion (which was Intel's most common infraction) is often two years. That means that anything that AMD became of aware of after June 2003 (and there was plenty in that time period) is within the statute.

Note also that there are many factors that can act to extend the period. My wife, who is a litigator, has used "fraud in the inducement" to win cases that seemed at first glance to be hopeless due the statute of limitations.
