You cannot fix this, ESO is coded to only use 1 core.

There are a couple things you can do to help performance though.

1. Set the view distance to 35-40, this is probably the most effective setting to reduce fps drops.

2. Turn off all the optional settings like Ambient Occlusion, Bloom, Distortion etc.

3. Go to User Setting .ini and change the following line to: SET NORMAL_MAPS "0"

There's also a good guide to improve graphics here, he also explains how you can change the settings to increase performance.

SET NORMAL_MAPS gives textures "shine". If it improves performance then perhaps it's actual lighting effect. I know ESO has a weird lighting effect that changes according to your camera and position in relation to light source. Maybe that's what it disables?
