Simply the Percona XtraDB Cluster is MySQL 5.5 with the Galera replication (synch multimaster) + other patches. That means that you still keep your data in disk + ram cache where MySQL Cluster keeps all data in RAM and saves to disk. In short, if your dataset is bigger than your RAM you need Percona's cluster.
