The question would be, would Intel be guilty of anything with AMD out of the picture that they are not guilty of now? Being the only player in the market is not illegal, the illegality is in keeping others out. If Intel didn't continuously crush upstarts, they should be fine.

I guess a question would be, would Intel be found guilty of illegally causing the demise of AMD?

I don't think so. However it's worth mentioning that Intel certainly acted in anti-competitive ways to severely damage AMD's ability to gain marketshare.[1] The suit was eventually settled though, with Intel paying AMD a huge sum.
