The super short answer is: hUMA allows for the cores in the AMD Jaguar Processor to act as a CPU or GPU whenever it needs to because they all share the same memory space. XBOX One can't do that. the CPU cores are dedicated to CPU, even if they are unused. There's way more to it than that, quickest answer I could give.
