The evolution of the temperature distribution function (TDF) of X-ray clusters is kn own to be a powerful cosmological test of the density parameter of the Universe. Recent XMM observations allows us to measure accurately the L - T relation of high redshift X-ray clusters. In order to investigate cosmological implication of this recent results, we have derived theoretical number counts for different X-ray clusters samp les, namely the RDCS, EMSS, SHARC, 160 deg^2 and MACS at z > 0.3 in different fl at models. We show that a standard hierarchical modeling of cluster distribution in a flat low density universe, normalized to the local abundance, overproduces cluster abundance at high redshift (z>0.5) by an order of magnitude. We conclude that presently existing data on X-ray clusters at high redshift strongly favor a universe with a high density of matter, insensitively to the details of the modeli ng.
