BUG/API: preserve non-nano in factorize/unique

doc/source/whatsnew/v2.0.0.rst

@@ -765,6 +765,7 @@ Other API changes
 - Division by zero with :class:`ArrowDtype` dtypes returns ``-inf``, ``nan``, or ``inf`` depending on the numerator, instead of raising (:issue:`51541`)
 - Added :func:`pandas.api.types.is_any_real_numeric_dtype` to check for real numeric dtypes (:issue:`51152`)
 - :meth:`~arrays.ArrowExtensionArray.value_counts` now returns data with :class:`ArrowDtype` with ``pyarrow.int64`` type instead of ``"Int64"`` type (:issue:`51462`)
+- :func:`factorize` and :func:`unique` preserve the original dtype when passed numpy timedelta64 or datetime64 with non-nanosecond resolution (:issue:`48670`)
