Similar.
In simple terms, snapping is putting an app on the edge in a fixed amount of space. 1/3rd of a screen on the Xbox One, 1/4 of the screen on Windows 8. On Windows 8.1 snapping is no longer fixed. You can make the app any size you want with up to four apps on one scree (for large resolution monitors).
Behind the scenes though, Windows 8 is simply running two apps concurrently. On Xbox One, it's running two virtual machines (virtual computers) concurrently. The latter would be akin to running HyperV on your Windows 8 computer with an application running in it, snapped to the desktop.
