We derive here the mean temperature profile for a sample of hot, medium distant clusters recently observed with XMM-Newton, whose profiles are available from the literature, and compare it with the mean temperature profile found from BeppoSAX data. The XMM-Newton and BeppoSAX profiles are in good agreement between 0.05 and 0.25 $r_{180}$. From 0.25 to about 0.5 $r_{180}$ both profiles decline; however the BeppoSAX profile does so much more rapidly than the XMM-Newton profile.To search for other articles by the author(s) go to: http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abstract_service.html
