Yes. See http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora7/FAQ. They are live images 
and due to multilib support by default that x86_64 images are larger. 
The rationale is that x86_64 are likely to be affected if we remove 
multilib and those systems are likely to be more recent and hence have a 
DVD drive.

There has been some recent discussions in fedora-desktop list about 
changing this.
