Does the fact that Oracle describe s differently - Result Cache, as opposed to Buffer Cache not lead you to the conclusion that they are in fact doing different things?

The Buffer Cache caches entire data blocks as they are read from the files.

The Result Cache caches the result sets for individual queries - so if your query returns values from several different tables, some of which are computed then these values will be cached.

It is very simple.
data block/buffer cache -> cache of data blocks
result cache -> cache of (query/function) results

Then we can use a materialized view , what extra advantage does a result cache do?

Result cache is dynamic materialized view.
You can't create a mview for each query, you can have result cache for many queries (the one you think it is important).
Also you can cache subqueries that can be used inside many queries.

In the end, you cannot cache function result without result cache.

Result cache (the one we are talking about here) is in server not in client.
So query result can be shared among multiple sessions.

It is set by these parameters (details in Reference manual):

result_cache_max_result       
result_cache_max_size         
result_cache_mode             
result_cache_remote_expiration

In 11gR2 there is a new client side result cache set by the following parameters:

client_result_cache_lag       
client_result_cache_size
