When God told Adam and Eve that they would "die", it meant they would no longer be the faithful. They would fall to sin, which is exactly what they did, and God knew they would, that is why from the beginning he planned to have Jesus as our Savior.
Also, if you read this accounting carefully, you will find that the serpent did not tell Eve the truth. The serpent did not say "exactly" what God had said. The serpent was extremely crafty at making Eve think it was the same as God said. It takes a careful reading to catch the lies that the serpent told Eve.
