They're not the same...

Extract from my modest (and still "work in progress") Org-Babel
refcard [1]:

- :results silent ::
     Sends the commands, echoes the results in the minibuffer (to see
     code block output), but *does not change the Org mode buffer* (even
     during export, *no results are inserted* into the exported
     document).
     (default for Org and Screen code blocks)

- :results none ::
     Silents the results, even for the minibuffer.  By definition, such
     a code block is run for its side effects.

Best regards,
Fabrice
