We had a user with a Braswell system (Intel Pentium N3710) in IRC yesterday, and he was not even able to *boot* into stretch normally (hard-locked with a black screen and no logs written to disk, even in rescue mode, unless he suppled the "nomodeset" kernel option). He could boot jessie, but the graphics ran without acceleration. There's definitely some room for improvement in Debian's support of Intel Braswell systems. But we'll need a whole lot more information.
