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.
