An integrated circuit (IC) package including ICs with multi-row columnar die interconnects has increased die-to-die (D2D) interconnect density in a conductive layer. Positioning the die interconnects in die interconnect column clusters, that each include a plurality of die interconnect rows and two columns, reduces the linear dimension occupied by the die interconnects and leaves room for more D2D interconnects.
