A system and method for decreasing system management data access time. A system includes a device, a cache memory coupled to the device, and a cache memory refresh controller. The device provides system management information. The cache memory stores system management information. The system management information stored in the cache is partitioned into a first portion and a second portion. The cache refresh program refreshes the system management information stored in the cache memory. The first portion is refreshed after expiration of a predetermined refresh time interval. The second portion is refreshed when the second portion is accessed.
