Pros: Well long story short, it's 45Watts, 1MB L2 Cache. Due to the low wattage and headroom, I overclocked my 1600 to 3.1Ghz (2.2 original). It's a beast of a processor. If you want dual core, go with it...but if you're on a budget or just don't care much for dual core...this is your best buy.
Cons: None. Not just saying that...seriously...none.
Overall Review: I would imagine the 1620 can get a little higher as far as overclocking that the 1600.
