Could make the fab(s) (38 and NY) buildable sooner. I think you better check out the timing of when the civil suit will come to trial. And don't forget appeals. In the best case for AMD, I don't see how any money can arrive in time to affect Fab 38. The EU action is (a) just starting and (b) probably could only benefit AMD financially in establishing facts for a subsequent civil case. So I think you're dreaming if you expect $ from the case to affect Fab 38. That said, I believe AMD deserves to win its antitrust action against Intel. I'm just unsure about who they can convince to testify, and the max possible damages. Note that the U.S. judge has indicated sympathy with the Intel position that the statute of limitations had run out on many U.S. claims because AMD stopped making CPU chips in the U.S. too long before the filing.
