Yes it is correct. The Master2-FAR has a "4+0" configuration where one processor must conduct memory transactions through the other.

I don't know how much of a performance penalty this imposes. I'm sure it depends on the application.

I'm happy with mine, although I might buy a different board if I were to purchase a new one today.
