Technically die is the singular and dice is the plural form of the cubes you roll for numbers. Then there's the other die, as in die-cast. I think these are typically referred to as dies in the plural. I'm not sure if this terminology is still in use, it seems to have been replaced with mold. Then the other other die, referring to the fragment of silicon inside an integrated circuit. I've seen dice used more commonly, but both forms are in active use. It's one of those frustrating inconsistencies of the English language.
