Arduino Due: why the '91' in 'AT91SAM3X8E'?

Using Arduino Microcontrollers
1

The microcontroller on the Arduino Due is specified as the AT91SAM3X8E. However, the Microchip website only documents the ATSAM3X8E microcontroller - without '91' in the name.

I browsed through the datasheet, and can't find what the '91' would stand for.

Any idea?

I'm thinking they changed it.
2015 datasheet still has plenty of AT91 references.
