Embodiments of the invention relate to the construction of a dual die package with a high-speed interconnect. A package is created having a first die on a first side of a base substrate and a second die on a second side of the base substrate in opposed relation to the first die. A first copper plated interconnect is plated to the base substrate. Second copper interconnects are formed to connect the first copper plated interconnect to the first and second dice, respectively, such that the first and second dice are interconnected.
