On page 10 in the this article there is an example of time measurement with AVR. Is the same thing possible to do with this?

    Yes is probably the correct answer because they both have timer capture / compare. But rather than expect everyone to sift through long datasheets it'd be better to mention the parts in your question and also mention if after reading both if there's a specific reason you don't think it'd be possible. – PeterJ Apr 13 '13 at 11:10

Yes, the SAM3S M3 Cortex based micro will be able to perform various timer and compare functions, it has quite a sophisticated peripheral with up to 6 16-bit channels, which can also do event counting, frequency measurement, quadrature decoding, etc.
The details are in section 35 (pg.721) of the SAM3S datasheet.
